COA Info
From Illinois Digital Archives (info from Libertyville-Mundelein Historical Society and Cook Memorial Public Library)--"This church was organized in 1886. The first building was on East Church Street on land that had belonged to Horace Butler. The first pastor was Reverend George P. Folsom. In 1825, the congregation bought a lot at the corner of Douglas Street and Maple Avenue. The building erected thereon was dedicated in 1928 and is shown in this photograph. Over the years the building was added to and in 1955 the adjoining property was purchased. An education building was erected and dedicated in 1961."
