The First Christian Church of Villa Grove has been part of the "Restoration Movement" since its birth in 1906.  We seek to emphasize:

*No Book but the Bible:
seeking to use only the Bible as our guide
for understanding God, and his will for us

*No Creed but Christ:
focusing on the only creedal [affirmation]
statement authorized by Christ, drawn
from Matthew 16:16, "I believe thatJesus
is the Christ, the son of the living God."

*No Name but the Divine:
honoring the early church and following
their example, we choose to simply call
ourselves "Christian."


The Restoration Movement

We are part of a historical non-denominational effort to restore the church to its simple faith and practice of the first century.  Our congregation is one of nearly 6,000 independent churches in the United States who have chosen to avoid denomination structures and control, and to work to be the church God intended us to be.
What kind of a church are we?




If you are looking for great fellowship, a warm smile, a solid handshake and becoming part of a church that cares about you, then give me a call and we will walk the long road together.
