Eastview Christian Church - Normal - Normal (IL)

5 /5 Mark Savage: This church is very active and engaged in our community. Phenomenal programming for all ages

5 /5 JJ: I am very satisfied with the services in a very large church. You can hide, or you can find your way and serve in many different capacities and opportunities. Joined a small group, and i was very satisfied with it as well. Cannot wait to see what all God has in store for us. The kids zones are tremendous as well. My kids really enjoy them. There are many opportunities for the kids to do things throughout the year with their age groups.

5 /5 Peach: I went to this church with my kids a few times and always wanted to come back. Im not super religious but I enjoy being here wonderful people. Its just a very loving and warm place that makes you feel good and the building is absolutely beautiful. They do lots for the community here and everyone is truly welcome.

5 /5 Joy Foglietta: Great church, with a large staff to support so many resources here! I highly recommend trying it out - the building may look big, but once I started serving, it was like being in a small church. There are many ways to get connected. They have many sports out-reach programs too! This church is for anyone, of all ages. Come see and feel the Holy Spirit move! GIve it a try!

1 /5 TK. A.: Though there are good people involved with this church, the Elders, many former Elders, the current Executive Pastor, and members of the leadership team are abusive in their treatment of others. Though not criminal, their behavior was manipulative and spiritually abusive with some participating in an egregious abuse of authority while the rest complicity failed to act or respond. I directly raised concerns of the abusive behaviors toward me and my family with these leaders multiple times starting in March of 2024 and these concerns have now been ignored for nearly 6 months and counting. These raised concerns were different than the public disclosures of abuse from June of 2023, yet many of the same men in leadership have played significant roles in both. Specifically these leaders exerted abusive pressure to maintain the image of the church and the image of the former chairman of the Elders. When the actions of the Executive Pastor and former chairman of the Elders was revealed, no former or current Elder or pastor would stand up for justice and demand accountability. No pastor or Elder would listen or respond to these raised concerns and these abusive people still serve and pastor today. Even the new lead pastor is aware of these raised concerns—though he also chose to not respond to me—while deciding to surround himself with the counsel and leadership of these abusive men. The behavior of these men biblically disqualified them from leadership and serving, yet they were protected by other abusive and complicit leaders. The image presented on Sunday differs greatly from the reality of the church’s leadership of abusive men mistreating others for the protection of their image and their positions of control. If the abusive leaders and pastors were removed, this church could perhaps once again be a place that focused on the higher ideals of justice, mercy, and faith rather than prioritizing image management. For now, it would be best to look elsewhere for a church—which is what my family did after having attended and serving for many years. There are healthy churches in BloNo but this is not one of them.
