Church Ministry Services
We Have a Ministry for Everyone
No two lives are exactly the same, but there are overlaps that occur. Our ministries are designed to cater to the unique needs and opportunities that come along with each life-stage. Here in the Chicago Church, there's a place for you to connect, contribute and create community.
Women's Ministry
Women hold a very special place in the heart of God. The Bible tells the stories of countless women who helped shape the Christian faith. They were women like us — from younger girls to older women, single, married, mothers, single parents, those challenged with infertility, orphans, widows, entrepreneurs, high-born and ordinary. Their lives had a world-changing impact far beyond their lifetimes. And with God, ours can as well.
Our Women’s Ministry is a place where women seek to support, teach and encourage one another. The focus is on helping every woman learn and grow spiritually to be a light to the world, inspired by both Bible heroines and modern-day examples. No matter who you are or who you’ve been, through God you can shine.
College Ministry
College is a foundational time and a place where many are seeking answers for life. Our college ministry creates space for people to wrestle with the world around them and find their God-given place in it.
The college ministry emphasizes the joys of daily discipleship and community. The students in this ministry blossom as they live life together, mature in their faith and develop leadership skills. We believe there are many students at our universities who have questions about faith and are seeking community, and we actively seek to be that bridge.
Our college ministry is called Alpha Omega, and our students are active on many local campuses:
- City: Columbia, DePaul, Harold Washington, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola, UIC, Northwestern, St. Xavier University, UChicago
- North: Harper College
- West: College of DuPage, North Central College, Elmhurst University, Aurora University, Wheaton College, Benedictine University
- South: Prairie State College, Governor's State, Olivet Nazarene, Purdue Northwest
- Dekalb: Northern Illinois University, Kishwaukee Community College
- Midwest: We enjoy fellowship with our sister college ministries in Bloomington, Champaign, Springfield, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, West Lafayette, Des Moines, Ames, Duluth and Minneapolis.
Singles' Ministry
Our singles ministry includes an array of people of various ages, races, levels of education and backgrounds. We are unified in our biblical convictions as we live in undivided devotion to God. Whether you’ve just graduated from college, are a single parent or inching closer to those golden years, you'll feel welcomed and are encouraged to participate as we inspire each other in our faith to become more like Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Discovery & Recovery Ministry
Spiritual Discovery classes are focused Bible studies aimed to help those who feel spiritually stuck and can't overcome an addiction, an entangled relationship, anger or an unhealthy pattern in their lives. The small groups focus on creating a safe space for openness, accountability and encouragement as the members journey alongside each other toward discovery.
We have seen many men and women overcome their challenges and enjoy a closer walk with God as a result of this ministry. God has truly shown us His marvelous power to heal damaged lives and restore relationships. We offer weekly classes for men and women around the Chicagoland area.
Spanish-Speaking Ministry
Our Spanish-Speaking ministry meets weekly on Sunday morning in Oak Park for a time of worship, learning and fellowship. For those who live farther away, many of our regional worship services offer translations services, Bible studies and discipleship groups for those who speak Spanish.
