Apple River Community Church is a congregation of people, conservative and evangelical in doctrine, who love each other and are committed to serving the Lord and their community.

The church has a rich heritage, having been founded in 1888 by Scandinavian immigrants. In 2001, we opened the doors of our new facility on the corner of US Highways 8 and 46. We changed our name from Apple River Evangelical Free Church to Apple River Community Church. We have a new building and a new vision for reaching out to those around us with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ through various outreach ministries. We believe that our Lord is at work here at ARCC and that He is building the body to enable us to accomplish the mission He has given us. Perhaps He is leading YOU to become part of what He is doing here. We are still a “work in progress”, but we are very happy with the progress that has been taking place at Apple River Community Church!
