A welcoming, serving community, reflecting the inclusive love of God
If you are new to Fourth Church, or are searching for new ways to connect with this congregation, we are glad you have found us here—and invite you to be with us on Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue, where we come together in community as Fourth Presbyterian Church.
Come join us at the intersection of fath and life as we share God’s grace with one another and the world through worship, preaching, education, and ministries of healing, reconciliation, and justice.
Inspired by the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ, we welcome everyone, without exception, into the life of this congregation. Guided by our Antiracism Covenant, we seek to embrace values and practices that enable us to experience Beloved Community, where differences are seen as assets that are celebrated and experienced as strengths.
