Right now, we are located at the AMC theater in Edwardsville, IL, yet just recently, we signed a contract with a builder for a new church building! The ground is secured at 4900 S. Rt. 159 Glen Carbon, IL 62034. This is going to be a very exciting time, but we need help as our church will certainly grow much more as soon as we open the doors!
