Friedens United Church of Christ; Irvington, IL
A Community of Love
At Friedens United Church of Christ in Irvington, IL we love without judgment! No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey…all are welcome in our church family. For over 125 years we have been spreading the love of Christ in Southern Illinois and throughout the world.
At Friedens we recognize that the Bible can be confusing at times…contradictory, cryptic, and may even cause us to disagree…and that is OK! We realize that our faith journeys are very personal and may bring individuals to varying beliefs. These individual faith journeys are what make our relationship with God meaningful and allow us to learn and share the abundant love of Jesus Christ.
