A city transformed by the gospel — where every person knows they are seen, loved, and redeemed.
Our Mission
To make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ who love God, love one another, and serve the city of Chicago with justice and compassion.
Gospel-Centered
Everything we do flows from the good news that Jesus died and rose for sinners. The gospel is not just our entry point — it's our entire life.
Multiethnic & Multicultural
We believe the beauty of the Body of Christ is its diversity. We are intentional about reflecting the full scope of God's family across race, ethnicity, and background.
Justice-Oriented
Faith without works is dead. We pursue racial reconciliation, economic equity, and community restoration as expressions of our love for God and neighbor.
Word & Spirit
We hold together robust biblical preaching and expectant prayer, believing God's Word and God's Spirit both work powerfully in our lives.

An organization mobilizing Christian college students for short-term and long-term mission work in underserved communities. We annually sponsor 8–12 students.
As we enter Holy Week and approach Easter, I find myself meditating on Romans 8:18 — "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." Chicago is a city that suffers. Our neighbors in Englewood suffer. Many of you suffer privately in ways the congregation will never know. And yet — the resurrection changes everything. Death does not have the final word. Injustice does not have the final word. Grief does not have the final word. He is risen, and that changes how we live in a city that desperately needs that news. This Easter, I'm asking each of us to bring one person who doesn't know Jesus. Not to convince them — just to invite them. Let God do the rest. He is faithful. He is risen. He is Lord.
For the city,
Pastor Marcus
