This is part of the multi-site church called The Orchard with campuses in Arlington Heights, Vernon…read moreHills, Northfield, Marengo, and Itasca. It is a solid bible-loving church that has been led by senior pastor Colin Smith since 1996, who has a radio ministry called Open the Bible (openthebible.org). Each location has a campus pastor and Barrington is led by Pastor Tom Olson, who regularly teaches and preaches. About 10 years ago this was a children's museum that was turned into a church. And it is located on Grove Street next to Safety Town. I attend the Arlington Heights campus, and I go occasionally to Barrington during the summer months to the Saturday night service. Very welcoming and I really appreciate the excellent bible teaching!

We understand this is private property but there was literally no one there that my almost 2-year-old would have been a threat to. And she was with her active duty military father. You people are great at excluding anyone who doesn't fit your definition of good. A little baby with her father who is protecting your rights to exclude anyone was thrown out of your precious playground. You Catholics are the actual professionals at exclusion of​ good.

Very pretty church in downtown Barrington. I love the look of the dark wood interior and how the…read morecongregation can wrap around the altar. Not a bad seat in the house. Parking is tricky, though--especially during services that draw higher attendance. The allotted church parking fills up fast, but the church is in a residential area so it's easy to find street parking. This is not my parish but it is convenient for me to visit during the week, particularly for the Ash Wednesday service.

They have so many different rooms and capabilities, it certainly is capable of a lot of great ministry. If you enjoy music they've got an incredible sounding PA and a seemingly top notch production team. If you're in the area I would say it's worth checking out and formulating your own opinion on the culture, and if it's a good fit for you!

I've never reviewed a church before, but I suppose there's a first time for everything…read more My sister and BIL are not a part of this church, but their pastor who married them, Chris Winkler, has left Wheaton and is now at BUMC. My nephew was baptized here this past weekend. I'm not religious, but I knew it would be lousy on my end if I didn't show up to the church but only to the brunch afterwards. I honestly don't remember the last time I went to church. I can tell you that it was long before there were projector screens that displayed the order of worship. Yeah, I've been out of the loop. BUMC is quite beautiful. The pews had cushions, which again, I don't remember from my days bring dragged to Catholic mass. It helped me actually listen to Pastor Chris give his sermon, which was entitled "A Pinch of Salt. A Glimmer of Light." I hung on to every word, and actually felt inspired at the end of the service. I didn't join in with the prayers, hymns, or anything else normal church-going folk do, but that's a personal preference. Overall, my experience at BUMC was a nice one. I highly recommend this church if you live in the area. The parishioners were friendly; the Director of Connections and Engagement Ministries, Gayle Richards was a great speaker as well. They gave a special introduction and warm welcome to their new members. And of course, Pastor Chris is awesome. If I was religious, I would want to be married by him, without a doubt.

If you're looking for a church that offers a sincere family type experience, I encourage you to become a part of this wonderful parish, even if you have to drive an hour or so to get there! And by the way, bring your smile :) with you! My drive time is 30 minutes!

I love the Catholic Church. Deeply. I have never been to a Catholic Church I wouldn't return to…read moreagain, no matter the music, the homily, the architecture, or anything else. Until now. Nothing was holy -- from the art, the music, the liturgy. It was like a Mega Church giving shallow entertainment, hoping the sappiness stirs the congregation. Nothing Catholic about it. It was a bad imitation of a protestant service. I was horrified from beginning to end. For those who gave a good review, I urge you to find a good Catechism class. Not at this institution, though. Some may attribute dissatisfaction to the fact that this church has "liberal" views. I saw nothing liberal or conservative. I heard nothing liberal or conservative. I would be labeled "progressive" for my political views. Please don't insult liberals by calling what happens at this place such. I'm still in a state of disbelief.
