Where We Are

Rock Island is one of the Quad Cities, a group of communities spanning the Mississippi River in both Iowa and Illinois. Our church is located at the five-way intersection of 18th Avenue and 17th and 20th Streets, at the top of the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi and Rock River Valleys. Don't miss the spectacular view from Longview Park, just across the street. For more information on the history of our church and of Rock Island in general, visit this Illinois Trails web site (maintained by one of our members).

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has made a commitment to encourage all members of our congregations, from children to adults, to dig deeper into our book of faith, the Bible. The Book of Faith Initiative recommends a new model for our church—a grass-roots approach embracing a common vision in which all are invited to open scripture and join the conversation. Each community is encouraged to decide how the Book of Faith Initiative will become a vital part of its own ministry.
