About Us
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To make disciples who love God, love people, and seek the good of the city.
Our Vision
A multiethnic community experiencing renewal through life in Jesus.
Why do we exist?
The mission Jesus gave the Church.
Our mission is the same mission Jesus gave the Church from the very beginning — the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36–40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20).
As we await Jesus’ return and His Kingdom coming in full, we embrace His call to seek the good of our neighbors, neighborhoods, and city (Luke 10:25–37).
What we envision
On earth as it is in heaven.
A diverse church reflects the reconciling work of the cross (Ephesians 2:13–16), participates in the story of the Church from the beginning (Acts 2), and anticipates God’s eternal family from every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9–12).
We seek unity in diversity as we experience renewal through life in Jesus.
God is calling us into His work of redeeming all things — planting a church that reflects the glory of God for the good of Chicago.Garden City Church
