EGBC’s “developing family of Christ-followers” not only includes our congregation, but also relationships with other churches, ministries, and faith-based organizations with whom we network, study, learn and discuss matters of belief and service. These include:

BRAZILIAN BAPTIST CHURCH OF CHICAGO: The IBBC shares our facility and many ministry opportunities. Three times a year, we hold joint Services of Worship. In additional, IBBC worship pastor Andre De Mesquita is also pastor of worship for EGBC.

CONVERGE: An international network of Baptist churches

CONVERGE MIDAMERICA: A regional affiliate of CONVERGE, connecting churches in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Michigan.

THE ELK GROVE INTERFAITH COUNCIL: A community service and prayer network

PASTORS OF AFRICAN DESCENT: An affiliate of Converge MidAmerica fostering conversation among African-American pastors in urban and suburban settings.
