Marshall Avenue Christian Church was founded in 1921. A new church building was built and moved into on Mother’s Day in 2000. So the church moved from Marshall Avenue Street to 26th Street (right behind the old building) but kept the same name. The church building is all on one level, so all areas are handicapped accessible. At Marshall Avenue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) we seek to help one another learn, feel, and share with others God’s unconditional love.

Marshall Avenue Christian Church is part of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family of churches in The American Church Story. 326 congregations of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family gather across Illinois — 10,488 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Stone-Campbell churches asked American Christians to put down their party names and be simply Christians, and they meant it enough to give up their own. Their plea for one table, and their weekly return to it, is one of the few genuinely American gifts to the church's understanding of itself.
