In the beginning of Joshua's story God is grooming Joshua to lead the Israelis across the Jordan River to seize the Promised Land. Joshua 1:9 states, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

At the end of October, 2002, we closed on 36 acres located at the corner of Rolf Road and Route 59, and crossed the river to seize the land. In October, 2006, we will break ground on the first phase of the building with an expected completion in 2007!

Our desire is to seek the Lord's will every step of the way. Won't you join us? We'd love to have you journey with us and experience the blessings of our Lord.

Story of God's Provision for Three Rivers Church

Spring brings forth new life on our land

Three Rivers Church has been looking for ground since before it began in October 1996. On October 30, 2002 God provided for us in the fashion of Ephesians 3:20, doing "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." Or in the words of some of the excited members, "God's finger prints are all over this property."

We have been circling around this 36 acres for three years. One real estate agent was unable to get a response from the absentee owners who live in California, so we looked at lots of other property. Then a local resident, unwilling to sell us his land at a reasonable price, pointed out this same piece as "the one your church needs to buy," but no one could get the P.O. Box in California to respond. So, we looked elsewhere. Knocking on doors on the other side of the DuPage River, Mrs. Gjerke said that a realtor friend could help us. (We had a realtor so we didn't bother calling.) Her realtor friend called us. Imagine our surprise when we found out that he had the unadvertised listing for the 36 acres on the DuPage we had been investigating.
