The Mission Field
Why Chicago?
Chicago is one of the most densely populated cities in America — nearly 3 million people within city limits, and over 9 million in the greater metro area. Yet Bible-believing, soul-winning Baptist churches are few and far between in the urban core. The McDonald family believes God has called them to plant a church that will preach the Word without compromise, win souls one at a time, and establish a lighthouse for the Gospel in the heart of this great city.
