The News of the Congregation The Historic Bethany Union Church of Chicago published monthly since 1948.
Welcome to historic
Bethany Union Church
of Chicago
On May 5, 1872, Bethany Union Church began with no denominational ties or strings; almost 150 years later we maintain the same lineage of being nothing but a people of God devoted to His/Her Worship, Religious Education, and the Fellowship of Believers. There is room for everyone at Bethany Union Church and we guard each person's dignity. We are a mix of folks with multiple ethnic backgrounds, traditions, and religious affiliations. We set everything aside except Christ and we strive to love and be agents of peace and understanding. We welcome everyone and anyone who embraces peace and seeks understanding - both being understood and choosing to try and understand ourselves and others better. Come and See! You can know what it is like to be in a place where understanding and acceptance are esteemed and where hope is ever-growing.
