Dekalb District

The DeKalb District is basically town and country in character, but with some exceptions.  The city of DeKalb boasts the home of Northern Illinois University which definitely dominates the community.  The surrounding countryside boasts some of the best agricultural land in the United States, mainly corn and soybean producing land.

The DeKalb District consists of 71 local churches on 60 pastoral charges served by 63 pastors under appointment. 14 pastoral charges include 2 churches served by the same pastor. Clergy and laity count the strength of persons and churches on the district to be a great asset. Strong personalities emerge on a local and district level, providing leadership and vision.  There is varied spiritual strength on the district.  This strength manifests itself in churches which are vibrant and alive and committed to Jesus Christ.
