About a year and a half ago, my family was introduced to Waterfront Community Church. At the time I had no great interest in going to church. I had attended a few different churches in the Schaumburg area, but never really connected to any of them. I had also gotten very jaded about churches in general. (too many news stories about preachers with BMWs and mansions...) A neighbor of ours told us that Waterfront gives 100% of their offerings to people in need. (salaries and expenses are raised separately) They don't even have a building and were renting space from the local high school on Sunday mornings. My family attended a service and were taken by how friendly everyone was. Most of the congregation and the small church staff introduced themselves to us and the service itself was not too preachy for me. We enjoyed it enough to keep going and it quickly became 'our' church. My young son loves the children's program and looks forward to going every week. Eventually the service moved to a different location and switched to Saturday at 5:00PM. A year later I love going to Waterfront and every time I go it is like being at a family reunion where only the relatives you like show up! The whole mission of the church is "loving God and people well" and you can really tell that's what they are trying to do. If you are looking for a Church, this is the place to go. If you aren't looking for a church but want to meet some really nice people, this is still the place to go. Check out their website and go to the media tab where you can listen to some recent messages, or come by on Saturday and attend a service! See you there! read more
