Our Story
Our Calling
After years of faithful ministry and a growing burden for unreached urban communities, God made it unmistakably clear that Chicago was our assignment. The city of Chicago — with its millions of souls, its spiritual darkness, and its desperate need for the gospel — captured our hearts. We believe God has called us to plant a church that is unashamed of the Word of God and committed to reaching the lost in one of America's great cities.
"For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city."
Acts 18:10
