About the Church:

We believe the church represents Jesus to a needy world. The Bible calls the church "Christ's body." It compares the church to a living organism where Jesus is the head. God arranges the parts of the body, Christ followers, just as He wants them to be. He gives each Christ follower special functions to perform for the good of the body. To remain healthy, the body's members must work together. Each part contributes to the growth and maturity of the church. God works through the church to reconcile a lost world to Himself through Jesus Christ. For this reason it is important for Christ followers to regularly gather together for the purpose of worshipping God. When the church worships together, Christ followers are equipped, built up, and encouraged through teaching, fellowship, prayer, and communion. Worship in this way enables believers to serve one another and the un-churched people in their sphere of influence.First Christian Church of Chicago sees itself as a member of God's world-wide Church made up of all those who have acknowledged Jesus as their Savior and surrendered to him as Lord to the best of their understanding of God and the Bible.
