Our heart is to help people become passionate disciples of Jesus, and we invite you to discover how God is moving in our church, our families, and throughout our city.
Welcome to Disciples Church, we’re so glad you came. Life can feel full and sometimes overwhelming with family, work, friendships, questions, and even doubts. We know walking into a new church isn’t always easy, and we don’t take it lightly that you chose to spend your Sunday with us. At Disciples Church, we believe following Jesus isn’t just for Sundays. It shapes every part of life. Our heart is simple: to help people become more like Him. That happens as we open God’s Word together, and as we build friendships that encourage and challenge us to keep growing. As you look through this magazine, you’ll see our story, our mission, and some ways to get connected. But more than just information, we hope you catch the heart of who we are, a community of imperfect people learning together, raising families, serving others, and walking out our faith side by side. If you ever need prayer, have questions, or just want to grab a cup of coffee with someone who will listen, we’re here. Thanks again for coming. We’d love to get to know you and walk this journey of faith together.
With gratitude,
Pastors Brent & Sol McQuay

Disciples Church was planted as Christian Life Center in 1990 by Pastors Jerry and Chris McQuay with the call to be a multicultural church of supernatural power impacting children and young families of the nations through intercessory prayer, balanced bible teaching, and the full ministry of the Holy Spirit. Today the name has changed, but the foundation remains the same!
In January of 2023, the church transitioned leadership to Pastors Brent and Sol McQuay. Brent and Sol had faithfully served on staff since 2006 in various administrative and pastoral roles before the transition. In February of 2025, the church was officially renamed Disciples Church. The name was changed to align with their vision to be a church focused on being and making disciples: Be One, Make One!
We invite you to see for yourself how exciting church can be when the focus is simple, and people are encouraged to become passionate disciples of Jesus.
Pastors Jerry & Chris McQuay

The Discipleship Process
Our “Be One. Make One.” discipleship process gives our church a shared direction so anyone who wants to become more like Christ can take steady, intentional steps forward, and help others do the same. People grow when there is a clear path, consistent practices, and real relationships that help them follow Jesus in everyday life.
-Matthew 28:19-20
-Mark 8:34-36
-John 8:31-32
-John 13:34-35
-Acts 2:42-47
-Ephesians 4:11-16
DC Groups are small, intentional gatherings where real discipleship takes place. If you’re looking for a place to grow in your faith, build deeper relationships, and walk out your journey with others, this is where community truly comes alive. In each group, we open God’s Word together, pray for one another, and strengthen each other as we follow Christ and live out His call to Be One. Make One. These gatherings create space for honest conversations, spiritual growth, and encouragement for every season of life. Whether you’re brand new to church or have been following Jesus for years, there’s a group ready to welcome you. Join a DC Group and experience meaningful connection, Christ-centered community, and the joy of doing life together. Because we believe life is better together.
DC Teams are where members who have completed Growth Track step into serving and begin living out their discipleship in action. Each team plays a unique role in building the church, whether it’s creating meaningful Sunday experiences, supporting behind-the-scenes operations, caring for people, or helping others take their next steps with Jesus. As you serve, you build real relationships and grow in the gifts God has placed inside you. This is where your character is developed by learning how disciples serve together as one body. From Kids and Students to Worship and Production, to Greeting, Merchandise, Hospitality, and more, every team contributes to the mission of making disciples. If you’re ready to grow, to serve, and to make a difference, DC Teams is the place to step in and be part of what God is doing in our church.
We value local outreach, believing the Gospel is meant to be lived out in the streets, neighborhoods, and everyday spaces of our communities. Our heart is to bring hope, compassion, and practical support to the broken, the lost, and the hurting. Every July, our church comes together for National Serve Day, a large-scale outreach event where we mobilize teams to bless Tinley Park and the surrounding areas through acts of service, generosity, and love. It’s one of the biggest ways we show our community that Jesus sees them and cares for them. Beyond Serve Day, we offer monthly outreach opportunities for anyone ready to make a difference, whether through meeting tangible needs, partnering with local organizations, or simply showing up for people who need encouragement. Through consistent service, intentional outreach, and discipleship in action, we strive to impact our community by demonstrating the compassion of Christ in real and meaningful ways.

Missions are at the heart of who we are. Disciples Church was founded by pastors who first served as missionaries, living out the Great Commission long before our church ever had a building. That same passion continues to shape our DNA today. We believe the gospel is meant to go beyond our walls and into the nations, bringing hope, healing, and transformation to those who need it most. Over the years, God has allowed our church to make a significant impact around the world. Through short-term mission trips taken regularly each year and long-term partnerships across more than 35 countries, we’ve been able to serve communities in meaningful, practical ways. From supporting children and orphans, to equipping pastors, providing medical care, planting churches, and helping people escape cycles of poverty and exploitation, our heart has always been to meet tangible needs while sharing the message of Jesus. By God’s grace and the generosity of our church family, we have invested millions directly into the mission field, helping take the gospel into places where it has never been heard and strengthening believers where it is hardest to follow Christ. Whether digging wells, resourcing underground churches, or simply showing up to love people well, DC remains committed to carrying the heart of our founders: to go For the One…the one God, the one lost, the one God is calling home.
