History
In the spring of 2017, we launched as a satellite campus of Central Christian Church of Beloit, Wisconsin. 85 of us felt the call to start a gospel-centered congregation in the Machesney Park community. For four fruitful years, we ministered to the community as an extension of Central Christian (one church in multiple locations). At the beginning of 2021, we sensed God’s call for our congregation to step into a new chapter. With the blessing of Central’s leadership, we incorporated as an independent church. In June of 2021, we became Park City Church.
We are a gospel-centered non-denominational Christian church serving the Stateline area of Illinois and Wisconsin (Machesney Park, Rockton/Roscoe, and surrounding communities).
We originally launched as a portable church, so we’ve met in various venues in and around the Machesney Park community. In the fall of 2021, we were presented the opportunity to step into a more permanent meeting space. To learn more about our current location click here.
