South Spanish Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is part of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bible Student movement family of churches in The American Church Story. 82 congregations of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Bible Student movement family gather across Illinois — 1,963 across the United States on The Church Map.
Jehovah's Witnesses and the related Bible Student groups hold that God's name is Jehovah, that Christ is God's first creation rather than God the Son, and that God's kingdom is a literal government soon to rule the earth. They do not present themselves as one denomination among others, and trinitarian churches do not receive them as one. Both of those are recorded here rather than resolved.
