1933: After five years at that location, and occasionally in the Odd Fellow's Hall on Race Street, a house located at 408 W. Main St., Urbana, was remodeled to serve as a church building. 1951: The Main Street congregation became the Lincoln Avenue congregation with the construction of a fine new structure on the corner of Lincoln and Oregon Avenues. The congregation met there until classroom and parking limitations prompted a move to the edge of town. The Lincoln Ave. building is now used by the university as a computer lab. On the edge of the U of I campus, the previous location underscored the church's commitment to responding to the spiritual needs of university students of the University of Illinois and Parkland College. 1978: Philo Road became the congregation's home with the construction of the present building on a 9 acre plot in southeast Urbana. The present auditorium was added in 1992.
