Westervelt Christian Church, located at 103 West Main Street in Westervelt, Illinois, is a Neoclassical structure completed in 1921 and designed by architect Charles Harris. Built as the second church in the community, it served the descendants of settlers who had migrated from the nearby Antioch Church in Brunswick following the arrival of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. The building exemplifies Classical Revival design through its prominent two-story portico with triangular pediment on the eastern facade, complemented by matching triangular pediments on the north and south elevations. These pediments are supported by brick pilasters, while a stone belt course encircles the building below the pediments and a plain cornice runs beneath the roofline. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
