A Brief History...tn_clcbc_family.jpg

Chain of Lakes Community Bible Church began in 1985 with eight people and a vision to share the gospel with the Chain of Lakes Region in northeastern Illinois. After outgrowing two facilities in five years we began construction in 1990 on our permanent location at 43 W. Grass Lake Road, Lake Villa, IL. Our Pastor, Kerry Bauman began his service with CLCBC in 1998 as the Director of Youth Ministries. In 2003, he was called to be the Senior Pastor. With an average attendance of 600, our focus still remains to share the gospel locally, regionally, and globally.

Our Mission

We are a Bible-centered, multi-generational church that embraces the Great Commission. Matthew 28:19-20

Our Vision

By the Grace of God, we will...

  • Educate and Equip the body through comprehensive, Bible-based discipleship.
  • Enthusiastically use our resources to Evangelize and transform the Chain of Lakes region with the Gospel.
  • Establish and support new churches locally and globally.


We prayerfully and earnestly seek to demonstrate the love of Christ as we pursue this vision in word and deed.
