This church building was designed by Illinois's first licensed African American architect. It is known for having broadcast its services on the radio for more than 80 years. This broadcast made the church an important trendsetter, so to speak, in Gospel music. Music that was played or performed at the church often became very commercially successful and spread to other communities.

First Church is a Christian church that describe their beliefs as "a spiritual church of love and faith." They have the Apostle's Creed posted on their website.
