The First Congregational Church of Austin, also known as Greater Holy Temple of God in Christ, is a one-story Prairie School church at 5701 West Midway Place in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1905 for a Congregational assembly, it was designed by William Eugene Drummond, a student of Louis Sullivan. Its tall central section of massive piers is flanked by smaller sections, and it influenced Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
