Glen Ellyn Bible Church is a community of people learning to follow Jesus and being transformed by a relationship with God. We are one church with two locations: our 501 Hillside Campus is in Glen Ellyn and our Poplar Creek Campus is in Bartlett. 

Everything we do— from the worship services to the Sunday school classes (for all ages) to student groups and small groups—is to help people walk the journey of life.

Before Glen Ellyn Bible began in 1943,  it existed as two smaller churches in Glen Ellyn—the First Evangelical Church and the Gospel Tabernacle. Both churches were rich in history and had a common desire to proclaim the good news of Christ in their community and around the world. With common commitments to children’s and student ministries, supporting missionaries, and a shared passion to reach their community with the gospel, these two churches merged to form what is now known as Glen Ellyn Bible Church

Since then, the church has continued to build on its commitments to each of its ministry focuses. In 1960, the church planted a congregation on Park Boulevard, near the present location of Glenbard South High School. The church plant grew to over 200 people in three years.

January of 2015 marked a new era in the life of our church with the launching of the Engage Vision. Out of years of prayer and seeking God’s wisdom for what was next for our community of faith, the Engage Vision was born. The Engage Vision guides everything we do at Glen Ellyn Bible and was the catalyst for launching our Caregiving Center in August of 2015, which serves over 200 under-resourced families in our community each month.

As we look ahead, we are thankful for our heritage and God’s faithfulness to our community of faith. We are also excited about what we believe God has called us to do in reaching the broken and in growing followers of Christ. God has done many great things in and through this church. We believe that the best days for God’s church are before us!
