A warehouse on Lemont Road, just south of 75th Street, is undergoing a transformation.

By mid-July, a new, nondenominational, Christian church is expected to open up on the site.

“Our big kick-off is July 11,” said Dave Schubert, outreach pastor. “We’re doing a build out right now.”

Construction crews are building, renovating and readying the building for its new purpose.

The church won’t be ornate or sleek, but will retain a more simple look.

“It’s a warehouse. It’s rustic,” said church pastor Brian From.

“The sanctuary is going to be very plain,” said Schubert.

The two clergymen, along with church elders and congregants, have been working on establishing a church home for their flock, which has been together as the Downers Grove area’s newest church congregation since Feb. 7.

Called the Four Corners Community Church, the church is an offshoot of the Glen Ellyn Bible Church, where both From and Schubert previously served as clergy.

From said the leadership at the Glen Ellyn church asked him three years ago to research the area and identify an appropriate site for a new church plant.

“It’s been a lot of prayer and meeting with people,” said From. “As a church, we look for ways of sharing Christ. People like to go to church in their own community. I just kind of fell in love with Downers Grove.”

From and his wife, Carrie, and their three children moved from Glen Ellyn to Downers Grove in December. Several other church families have also relocated, he said, in anticipation of the new church’s opening. Schubert said he and his wife, Katie, and their daughter still live in Glen Ellyn but plan to move to Downers Grove in the near future.

From has a masters degree in biblical studies from Wheaton College; Schubert, a graduate of Taylor University in Indiana, is currently working towards has masters of divinity at Northern Seminary in Lombard.

One of the new church’s elders, Glenn Williams, has long been a Downers Grove resident and is the chairman of the fine arts department at Downers Grove South High School. Williams was also a church elder at the Glen Ellyn Bible Church, From said.

The new church building is actually located in Darien, close to the Downers Grove border, and is intended to serve residents of Downers Grove and the surrounding area.

Since the church began, meetings and services have been held at 4 p.m. Sundays at Horizon Community Church on 63rd Street in Downers Grove.

Moving into their own space will allow Four Corners Community Church to move Sunday services to 10 a.m., From said.

Currently, he said, there are about 90 members. The new church sanctuary will be built to accommodate about 150 people at a time.

“We hope to get to the point where we’ll be having more than one service,” he said.

The church also will host Bible study groups, Bible camps for children and other learning and worship opportunities, From said.

“Our goal is to reach out to the community in the truth that we share and the way that we act,” said From. “I just kind of, through prayers, feel like this is where God wanted us to be. And God never closed that door.”
