Orion Christian Church
Our Mission:
Sharing and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Caring for each other and those in our neighborhoods.
How We Began:
The Orion Christian Church was organized in 1968. Early meetings were held in a house at 311 10th Avenue. The congregation grew rapidly and a church building, located at 1202 Fourth Street. was purchased. The first service was held there February 14, 1971. In 1980, Louis Cheek became minister and a larger church was again a necessity. The church purchased a parcel of land from the State of Illinois which had formerly been a rest-stop south of Orion on Route 150. The first service in the new church building was held January 19, 1983.
