Open Doors. Open Minds.
Open Hearts.
Our church doors have been open in the Lakeview neighborhood since 1883. We believe God loves us just as we are and calls us to be and do more than ever before.
There’s a place for you here.
Whoever you are and however you describe yourself, we really do try to welcome you and see you like God does – beautifully created in the image of one who loves us and frees us to serve.
Resurrection Lutheran Church (RLC) is a vibrant, welcoming congregation in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood that also offers preschool for 2-5 year olds.
We are a unique, progressive community of young adults, families, and older adults.
We're a Reconciling in Christ congregation that welcomes, affirms and includes all people. Our mission is to invite, include, involve, and inspire people in Christ.
At Resurrection, you’ll find opportunities to study God’s word, serve our local and global neighbors, and gather in community/fellowship with others.
