Our church was founded in 1891 and became the first formally organized African-American congregation in Rockford, Illinois.  In 1917 our first location was purchased at 206 South Winnebago Street.  In 2006, we moved to our current location of 3000 Rural Street.

With each challenge we have encountered, we became stronger in our faith. We may provide links to other sites that provide more detail on our church history or particular events in our past.

We invite you to become a part of the church today and a piece of its history tomorrow.
