Chain of Lakes Community Bible Church (CLCBC) in Lake Villa, IL is a church on a journey toward revitalization. This
faithful core of people loves their church and desires to turn the page and develop momentum toward a brighter future.
They need to call an experienced, confident, yet humble Senior Pastor to help them write their next chapter.
Following the departure of their former pastor (along with 150-200 people) in November 2017, the church has been in an extended interim season. As they look ahead, they recognize their need to call a wise, experienced pastor who can continue to guide them on their journey toward renewal. The Word of God has always been a cornerstone of ministry at CLCBC, with a clear value for Scripture-based, expository teaching. While they desire more application and emphasis on reproducing discipleship, they continue to hold a deep appreciation for their shared history and a more traditional approach to worship and programming.
The church looks forward to welcoming a talented biblical preacher who not only expresses a passion for God’s Word but inspires and motivates people toward real life change by taking next steps in their faith journey, wherever they may be. A strong pulpit ministry is essential to helping the people bring biblical truth to a practical level, and is not afraid to challenge them to put their faith into action. Relational, kind, and approachable, the ideal Senior Pastor will shepherd people with genuine care, taking time to listen, empathize, correct and encourage them so their faith is sharpened and the community of the church is strengthened.
Offering services at 9 and 10:45 a.m., CLCBC is well-known as one of the only evangelical churches in the area with a blended traditional style of worship. Lake Villa is a village located in beautiful Lake County, Illinois where the gently rolling landscape is dotted with numerous lakes and scenic outlooks. The Chain of Lakes waterway is made up of 15 different lakes connected by the Fox River and provides for a wide range of outdoor recreational activities, including boating, hunting, fishing, and swimming. Only minutes from the Wisconsin border, many people prefer living in Wisconsin due to the lower cost of housing and taxes. Roughly an hour from the cities of Chicago, Milwaukee and Rockford, the Lake Villa region is a great place to live, work, and play!
