Belvidere Church of Christ was established in the early 1960s by members from other Churches of Christ in nearby Rockford. At first they rented a hall on State Street in which to gather together for weekly study and worship services. During the first couple years this new congregation experienced steady growth so they pooled their resources and purchased a lot in the residential development of Sheffield Green. It was there that they erected their first building. After continued growth they soon purchased a larger lot just a couple blocks up the street. It was on this parcel that the church built a higher-capacity facility that has served them well ever since.

It is there that on every Sunday we observe the Lord's Supper, remembering how we are saved through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus our Lord (Luke 22:19; Acts 20:7)

It is also in our weekly classes and worship services that there is the study of God's Word, corporate prayer, the preaching of the Gospel, and congregational singing. And like the practice of the earliest Christians, we sing songs of praise and worship to God without any instrumental accompaniment. The melody we make is with our lips and in our hearts (Ephesians 5:19).

Throughout the years, many individuals and families have enjoyed warm fellowship, biblical teaching, celebration of the Gospel, and sweet memories within the weekly gatherings of this congregation.
