The story of Resolution Church is just beginning.  It officially began when Mark and Cristie Davenport, along with their three children, followed God’s call to move from Colorado to the growing Southwest suburbs of Chicago in August of 2007.   Although Mark and Cristie had spent considerable time in the South, coming to Chicago was a return to their midwestern roots, since both of them were born and raised in Michigan.  The vision God gave them for Resolution was for an emerging, relevant, and passionate church that would reach people far from God.  Resolution held its first “public” gathering at the home of Mark and Cristie on July 27th, 2008. The theme was a Brazilian barbecue and was attended by 93 people.  The food was incredible, the kids had a blast, and the adults enjoyed a wonderful Midwestern summer evening.  Of the 93 people who attended, several new families joined our launch team, which worked toward our launch on September 14th, 2008. And what an exciting day it was!  God blew our minds bringing 316 people for our launch Sunday during one of the worst floods in Chicago history!  It truly was a miracle! On January 18th, 2009, Resolution found an amazing new home at Showplace 16 Theater in south Naperville.  This was a great season for Resolution as we added many new families in this location.

In July of 2009 Erick and Bekki Ewaskowitz joined the staff at Resolution.  Erick served as executive pastor and Bekki came on as the worship leader.  Their leadership was a huge blessing to Resolution and God was preparing both of them and the church for an unexpected adventure.  In June of 2010 Erick assumed the role of Lead Pastor as Mark and Cristie sensed God was calling them to plant a new church in South Florida.  This has been a very healthy and enthusiastic transition for Resolution as we now also make our new home in Oswego following our 10.10.10 Grand Opening!  We continue to anticipate God to do great things in and through Resolution!
