A sermon in stone, the Eureka Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), located at 302 South Main Street, Eureka, Illinois, is a fine example of English Gothic ecclesiastical architecture from the early twentieth century. The three church buildings were designed by Chicago architect Herbert A. Brand in 1934 and 1963. 

 

This congregation was the first to be established in the settlement of Walnut Grove (later the city of Eureka) in 1832, and the early church leaders were instrumental in the formation of Woodford County, the city of Eureka, and Eureka College (a private, Disciples of Christ four-year college). The current church is the fourth church constructed by this denomination in Eureka, and the third church built at 302 South Main.

​

Today, the congregation is committed to reflecting Christ's light from its doorsteps to the ends of the Earth. The congregation's awareness of its history and its active efforts to maintain and improve its historic building serves as a solid foundation for the work of the church in the community and beyond.
