Chicago Presbytery took action in 2019 to become a Matthew 25 Presbytery — one of 93 presbyteries in the PC(USA) to do so. We are working to dismantle systemic poverty, dismantle structural racism, and build up congregational vitality.

Around the Presbytery
Planning, praying, and preparing for what’s next. On Saturday, the presbytery`s CARE team gathered at Elmhurst Presbyterian Church to pray, plan, dream, and discern together. We’re grateful for the leaders who give their time and gifts to strengthen the work and connection that sustain our presbytery.
Everyone is welcome — pastors, church staff, members, and families from across the Presbytery of Chicago. Mustard up your crew and join us for a doggone good evening at the ballpark! Whether you`re coming for the baseball, the fellowship, or the hot dogs, we hope you`ll relish the chance to connect with friends old and new from across the presbytery.

The Presbytery of Chicago is celebrating growth among our New Worshiping Communities. Alongside Día Nuevo, Divino Redentor, and Ghanaian Presbytery Fellowship, we are excited to welcome Greater Works Christian Center, Unidos Por Cristo, and Weaving Table, each of which has recently received a PC(USA) 1001 New Worshiping Communities Seed Grant. We give thanks for these innovative ministries and look forward to seeing how God continues to work through them in the years ahead.
When the Spirit showed up on Pentecost, Heritage Presbyterian Church in Carol Stream came dressed for the occasion.
Happy birthday to our fabulous senior administrative assistant, Megan Hendrickson! Hope the year ahead is filled with lots of laughter and chocolate.
Thank you to Presbyterian Church of Palatine for their incredible hospitality at last week`s Chicago Presbytery assembly. We worshipped with great music from the communities that gather at PCOP, commissioned those going to General Assembly this summer, and engaged the work of the presbytery. Thank you to all of the musicians and volunteers who contributed to such a spirit-filled gathering!
Join us for a casual drop-in lunch on Thursday, June 4 at 11 AM at Blackberry Market in Oak Brook. All pastors of the presbytery — installed, specialized, and retired — are welcome to come by for conversation, connection, and encouragement with colleagues across the presbytery.
You are invited to join us for a Chicago Dogs game on July 20.
It’s time to paws ministry meetings for an evening of baseball, fellowship, and plenty of ballpark fun. Join us for the first-ever all-presbytery fun day — a chance to ketchup with colleagues and friends outside the usual routine. Whether you come with your family, staff team, or fly solo, all are welcome.
We’re hoping this will be a doggone good time filled with laughter, connection, and maybe even a hot dog or two. Tickets will be affordable and available for purchase through the presbytery. More information about tickets and game details will be coming soon — so stay tuned and mark your calendar!
It’s almost time for the presbytery gathering at Presbyterian Church of Palatine!
