Welcome to Mosaic!
Mosaic Christian Church is a communion of Christ-followers who are committed to practicing the ways of Jesus by living out lives of grace together, through the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Our mission as Mosaic Christian Church reflects our gratitude for God's creative work. We are made whole to make whole through the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Our vision at MCC is to co-create with the Spirit a whole-hearted Communion sharing a whole-hearted faith for the whole person - body, mind, and spirit- for one's whole life from beginning to end.

Our values reflect our commitment to seeing each person's life as a gift, regardless of age or ability. 
  • We intentionally seek out opportunities to provide care, education, and experience that equips followers of Jesus to practice discipleship in all areas of life - spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, social, etc. and to share wholeness with all.
  • We understand the whole person is created to respond to beauty, imagination, and creativity and we welcome those gifts here. 
  • We believe wholeness begins with Jesus' gift of himself to all, thus the Lord's Table, open to all, is the center of our worship and practice.​​

About Peoria

The lands that would one day become Peoria, were first settled by the indigenous Kiikaapoi,  Peoria,  Kaskaskia, Sauk and Meskwaki peoples, among others, who made up the affiliation of tribes called the Illinois Confederation, or Illini. They hunted, farmed, tended, and inhabited the land long before Europeans arrived.

The French explorers who were the first Europeans to claim the land, ventured up the Illinois River from the Mississippi in approximately 1680. The County of Peoria was organized in 1825. Peoria was incorporated as a village on March 11, 1835 and as a city in 1845. 

Peoria was named after a group of the indigenous peoples, though it was probably a mishearing of the autonym these peoples called themselves.  A 21st-century proposal of the meaning of the name "Peoria" suggests a derivation from a proto-Algonquian word meaning "to dream with the help of Manitou (God)."

As our city continues to change, our prayer at Mosaic Christian Church is that we might also dream God's dreams for this place and act to recognize and foster the growth of God's kingdom, here and now, in Peoria.
