College Church History

Even with a significant history—more than 150 years of ministry since its founding—College Church isn’t stuck in the past. We thank God for his faithfulness in working through the people of this church throughout our history and moving forward. For his honor and glory, we are fully engaged in preaching the Word, doing ministry and being global moral preservatives and lights in culture. As always, College Church is committed to biblical preaching, applying God’s Word to all of life and proclaiming God’s love globally through missions outreach.
 
You may read more about the story of God’s grace and mercy to this church in Edith L. Blumhofer’s History of College Church in Wheaton: The First 150 years. The book describes College Church’s commitment to Scripture, missions and standing up for morally significant matters
