The church first met on the campus of Wheaton College as "The First Church of Christ in Wheaton."{{Citation needed| date= May 2011}} Blanchard wanted the church to be known for its opposition to slavery, secret societies, and alcohol use.[4] The church was first affiliated with the Congregational Association of Illinois.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}} Jonathan Blanchard's involvement as the first president of Wheaton College and as the founder of College Church caused the two institutions to share statements of faith and facilities.{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}} The church suffered divisions over doctrine and affiliation during the years after its founding, leading to the creation of what are now First Presbyterian Church in Wheaton and Wheaton Bible Church.[5][6] After a reorganization in 1878 the church was renamed the College Church of Christ.[7][6] It only gained its current name, College Church in 1963, in an effort to distinguish itself from the Church of Christ denomination, which has a rather different theology.[7] Although it is not formally associated with Wheaton College, College Church has long been closely associated with the college and drawn large numbers of students and members of the faculty to its services.[8][9] Pastoral leadership throughout its history is as follows:
Ministries TodayCollege Church has a commitment to the work of the gospel locally and globally. Locally, its ministries include a thriving children’s, youth and college ministry. The church offers the disability ministry STARS (Seeking to Always Reflect the Savior)[10] "to make access to worship, ministry, and fellowship a reality for any child or adult with special needs."[16] College Church has ties with church plant congregations in Chicago, Batavia, Lombard, and Naperville.[4] It has connections with the Outreach Community Center, and two resale shops. It runs a pastoral training program for pastoral residents. It is known for its commitment to expository bible preaching, biblical worship, and global missions. Aerial photos and maps
