Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Congregational Church of Jefferson Park, an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ in northwest Chicago.

We are so happy that you have made your way to our website!

We hope that as you explore our website, you will want to come and worship with us, then hear us welcome you with our welcome song at fellowship time!

The Congregational Church of Jefferson Park is people of faith who loves music, serving their community, the rich traditions of a church founded in 1861, and the incredible involvement of the children, youth, and young adults. We also enjoy congregational parties, adult religious discussion groups, and fun-filled fund raisers.

We are an intentionally open and affirming congregation. We welcome persons of every age, gender, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation, political affiliation, economic and social status, educational background, physical or mental disability, faith background, marital standing, and family structure.

We hope that we can be a place for you as you grow in your spiritual journey and that you come to learn from us as we look forward to learning from you.
