We are open and affirming, anti-racist, local, organic, slow-church, just peace, free range, real butter Christians.

We meet Sundays at 5 pm for TWO MORE WEEKS. April 27th, 5 pm in the backroom at My Buddy’s (4416 North Clark St.) and May 4th at Half Acre (2050 W Balmoral Ave). That’s also at 5 but if you want food, come early!

But also: we’re dying. Read more about it. Kick in for end-of-life costs. Celebrate Easter at a pro-wrestling vigil on April 19th. (Want a free ticket? Holler at us for a code.)

Get the weekly email for events, locations, Zoom links, what’s coming up, and everything else. Follow us on Facebook, Insta, and TikTok to keep up with all the shenanigans. Listen to sermons (most weeks) on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Gilead is a progressive, inclusive, creative community of Christian faith on Chicago’s north side — a community that makes beautiful worship, throws great parties, and tells true stories that save lives.

We’re a church where all are welcome — and where all means all. If you’ve been told or made to feel that you’re too queer, too out, too smart, too loud, too weird, have too many questions, or too big an agenda for church… well, as we like to say, we’re not for everyone, but we might be for you.

Have questions? Wanna get coffee with a friendly face? Let us know! Email us at info@gileadchicago.org for more info about anything.
