About Community Christian Church

For the past 33 years, COMMUNITY has been passionately committed to the Jesus mission of helping people find their way back to God. This singular focus has not changed...nor will it. As we navigate new challenges in our world and culture, we believe new opportunities have emerged for us to mobilize more Christ followers and expand our current ministry model to help even more people find their way back to God. We are One Church with Four Expressions reaching people who are far from God: COMMUNITY Online, COMMUNITY Freedom (based in local prisons), 3C COMMUNITIES (Micro Churches), and seven physical COMMUNITY locations. 
 

COMMUNITY'S Naperville Location is one of our seven physical locations with well over 3,000 active attenders and approximately 1,000 meeting weekly in a newly remodeled and highly visible 24/7 space. It's 1,200 seat auditorium is a favorite venue for a variety of community performances and productions, including our very own annual Let It Be Christmas event. With an annual operating budget of just over 3M, Community's Naperville location has been and continues to serve as an economic engine in reaching people far from God both locally and globally.  

The City of Naperville is a beautiful residential community located 30 miles west of Chicago and is consistently voted a great place to live and raise a family. Naperville's downtown is home to several historic sites, fine dining, upscale shopping, and recreation with its award-winning and picturesque Riverwalk. With a population of close to 150,000 people, Naperville is much more than a suburb. Both school districts 203 and 204 receive high marks and provide an exceptional education K-12 and serve as a key selling point for people moving into the community.   

This is an exciting time to join an established and larger team committed to the success of our location in Naperville and to see the Jesus Mission move forward throughout Chicagoland. We'd love for you to consider joining our team, and if you're interested in learning more, please read on and submit your resume.
