Congregation members often have had family reunions at the church; a tradition that still endures today.

Background Information

Lyonsville, the oldest Congregational Church in Cook County, was organized in 1843 as the Congregational Church of Flagg Creek.  The Lyonsville Cemetery was organized in 1848.  The original sanctuary was built in 1858.  Ministers from Lyonsville were loaned to organize churches in Hinsdale, Western Springs, and LaGrange.  The new sanctuary was built in 1960.

Lyonsville Congregational Church is a member of the United Church of Christ, formed in 1957 with the union of the Congregational Christian and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches.  Church members come from a variety of religious backgrounds.

Coming out of the Pilgrim tradition, ours is a democratic church in which the people of the church govern the church, making their decisions in the light of the gospel and out of a sense of responsibility to the whole congregation and the desire to respond faithfully to the Word of God.
