Farewell to the Ministry Center
1825 College Avenue. In May 1997, it was simply an address. But Church of the Resurrection had signed a lease and moved in, choosing to call it home.

Three years before the millennium, the church’s whole ministry functioned using two computers...

Church of the Resurrection had a float in the Wheaton Labor Day Parade this morning.

2012 Holy Week Photos
Each year Holy Week is a profound time of communal and individual reflection and celebration. It is in the dying to ourselves and rising to new life in Christ that we experience in Holy Week that we learn to walk with the Lord throughout the rest of the year. As you continue to pray through you and your family and friends' experience with the Lord this Holy Week, may these images serve as stones of remembrance of what the Lord has done and is continuing to in his people at Church of the Resurrection.
