Proud to be part of the McHenry County Brand Builders team representing Crystal Lake City Lifestyle.

This week we welcomed 40 local small business owners alongside John Mink from the Illinois SBDC and McHenry County College. Our focus: how to invest marketing dollars wisely with trusted local partners.

The feedback has been outstanding—and we’re already gearing up for the next event.

Shout-out to our MCBB colleagues for putting together a great event!

175+ Years of Faith, Community & Resilience in Crystal Lake ⛪

Founded before Crystal Lake was even a city, First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake, Illinois has stood as a symbol of unity, service, and unwavering faith since 1842. From ringing bells that echoed across counties to helping build essential community institutions, this church is far more than a building—it’s a living legacy.

Now, a $2.3M restoration effort is underway to ensure the sanctuary remains a place of welcome, sustainability, and purpose for generations to come—complete with solar upgrades, improved accessibility, and thoughtful preservation of its historic character.
