Welcome to Willow! We’re a group of people from all ages, backgrounds, and cultures who believe there’s more to life than what the world says. We simply want to love God, love people, and change the world. Whether you find yourself on the mountaintop or in a valley, we believe you have a place here.
Willow Creek is a multi-generational, multi-ethnic multiplying movement of Christ followers passionate about worshiping Jesus, growing in faith, sharing our lives & faith with others, reaching people who don’t have a relationship with God, and blessing our communities and world through our transformed lives & radical generosity.
Our God-sized vision can only be accomplished by prayerfully seeking God, partnering where He is already at work, learning, and innovating as we develop leaders, launch campuses, and plant churches throughout Chicagoland and the world.
Founded in 1977, Wellspring offers a relationally-centered community of residential treatment programs for adolescent girls and young adult women struggling with mental health and relational issues. We also have a private special education school serving grades 7-12 for residential and day students.
