Christ Church of Chicago is a missional, compassionate, and open and affirming church affiliated with the United Church of Christ, embracing diversity and affirming the dignity of every person.
Our Faith
Christ Church of Chicago is an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, believing that God's grace extends to all people regardless of where they are on their faith journey, including full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons in the life and ministry of the church.
As a United Church of Christ congregation, the church holds that every believer is called and equipped for ministry, not just ordained clergy, and seeks to put faith into action through the gifts of the whole community.
The church believes God continues to call the congregation forward into becoming a strong spiritual center and inclusive community, trusting that God has an active, forward-looking plan for the church's witness in the world.
The church believes that genuine faith is lived out through deeds of kindness, solidarity, and service, expressed through its support of mission partners such as the Japanese American Service Committee and other community agencies.
Rooted in its Japanese-American heritage yet embracing a multicultural and multiracial membership, the church believes the body of Christ is strengthened, not divided, by the diversity of its members and their varied faith journeys.
