MISSION STATEMENT

Pursuing worship, service, and communities of justice, we are the Presbytery of Chicago, flourishing together by relating people, neighbors, and churches to one another in Christ Jesus.

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.

All are welcome to join in giving thanks for the life and witness of Rev. Carol Allen at a memorial service on Friday, April 10 at 2:00 PM at @fourthchurch of Chicago (126 E. Chestnut Street).

As we gather in gratitude and hope, we commend her life to God’s eternal care and surround one another with prayer. A reception will follow, and all are warmly invited to attend.

During Lent, Rev. Dr. Craig Howard and Rev. Jana Blazek host Thursday conversations to help us discern how to lead and serve in such a time as this.

Thursday, March 26 @ noon on Zoom.

How is the church called to show up in its neighborhood in times of anxiety, division, and uncertainty?

As we conclude our Lenten Lunch Learning series, we’ll gather for a time of shared reflection and conversation. This session will create space to name what you've been trying, what has been challenging, and what new ideas you are considering as we move toward Holy Week and beyond.

Come ready to listen, share, and encourage one another as we continue to discern what faithful leadership looks like in these weighty days.
