About Mundelein Church of the Nazarene
Situated in the northwest Suburbs of Chicago, Mundelein, Illinois and its surrounding villages/towns is a diverse and growing community. Our Church has around 70-90 regular attendees and is known for its authentic and relational feel. We are not a flashy church or big church, but we are a church with deep relationships, a passion for the next chapter, and a faithfulness to God and living into the opportunities where we see Him at work. Our heart is to reach the unchurched, the dechurched, and those who could never see themselves being involved in a local church family. We want to see people in our community embracing Jesus, His family, His story, and His mission in the world. We believe that every person is called to live into the life that God has for them, and we want to be a people and a place where those lives can flourish.
