Still working on our goal of $300,000 to keep our church building accessible. It is impressive that we have received near 80% of our goal for replacing the front outside staircase and the mechanical lift between the lower levl to the Sanctuary.

Our history shows the commitment of being welcoming to all. This project continues our mission.

For well over 125 years our religious community has stood strong at the corner of Ashland and Morse offering sanctuary, assistance and hope to a vibrant and constantly changing Rogers Park neighborhood.

Justice, liberation, and freedom for all people are at the forefront of all that we do. This includes sharing our physical building with a range of valued community partners. Partnerships with Circles and Ciphers and the Northside Transformative Law Center focus us on restorative justice. Mary Crane Day Care, Refugee One, Chicago Yoga Garden, and NA/AA groups use the building to meet, strengthening the ties of community throughout Rogers Park.

Responding to the deepening economic crisis that has challenged many in the neighborhood, we have recently opened our doors to Care for Real, which is currently distributing food to more than 150 Rogers Park neighbors each week. We also continue our important weekly ministry of food and hospitality at Community Feast. And our New-to-You Thrift Shop has reopened as of June 1st as it approaches its centennial year of operation! 

We can reach that goal if some of you give $25 and some give $500. It will happen if you help us find other financial partners.
