Testimony
I am excited to be part of a community of people interested in exploring their faith and growing closer to God together.
Questions
Where are you located?
We hope to be a regional, multi-site church that draws people from the whole city and collar suburbs. Our Sunday morning services are held Downtown at the Spertus Institute, 610 S. Michigan (click here for public transit and parking information) and in Andersonville at 1602 W. Ainslie St (click here for public transit and parking information). Our Sunday evening service is held in Wicker Park at 1502 N. Hoyne (click here for public transit and parking information). And, our “offices” are in coffee shops all over the city.
When do your services begin and how long are they?
Our Sunday morning Downtown service starts at 10:15 a.m., and our Sunday morning Andersonville service starts at 10:30a.m. Our Sunday evening service will start at 5:30 p.m. All services last 75-90 minutes.
What will the services be like?
Check out our Downtown Worship page, Andersonville Worship page and Wicker Park Worship page to answer this question and more!
Are you connected to a particular denomination/tradition?
Our goal is to be a multi-denominational community where people from diverse spiritual traditions or with no religious experience feel at home. We are a United Methodist Church, a Christian Protestant denomination that emphasizes God’s love for all people, the intersection of spirituality and justice, and the calling to make a difference in the world.
We are a Reconciling Congregation, working to break down all the boundaries that people use to exclude and discriminate. We welcome skeptics and believers, people of all races and classes, people of all cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities.
How can I be a part of Urban Village Church?
Check out our I’m New page. Or, for a more comprehensive answer, explore our discipleship system. Because we view discipleship as a journey that integrates and offers our whole life to God and others, this page serves as kind of nucleus and magnet for everything going on at Urban Village. Use the interactive map to explore particular areas or “stops.” There are any number of ways to jump on board! You’ll see.
