SummitView Christian Church began in 1963 out of a dream to reach the un-churched by establishing a new Christain community in northwest Chicagoland. With limited capital and a great measure of faith, seven families of devoted followers of Christ went forward with a vision to launch a new church. In September 1963, our church was born in the gymnasium of Lakeview Elementary School in Hoffman Estates.
For over 40 years now, the people of SummitView have faithfully worked to reach out to people and simply connect them with the love of Christ while a the same time building and encouraging each other to grow into full devotion to Christ. What origianly started out as more of a neighborhood church has, over the years, developed into a regional church whose reach now extends to all points across the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Forty-three years later, we are following in the footsteps of our founders to reach people who are far from God through the launch of our new campus in Algonquin, IL. With the launch of our second campus in Algonquin, IL (October 2006), SummitView will continue to serve and impact our community as one church meeting in two locations. We have one vision that drives us, one leadership that guides us, and one budget that resources us. Our two campuses enable us to expand our reach to more communities by offering the same kind of life-changing, family centered ministry programming with a sense of relational intimacy that has been a hallmark of our church for decades. At SummitView, you can find the quality experience of a growing church with the intimacy and personal interaction of a church that knows your name.
