At The Historical Bethany Union Church, we envision an inclusive community where compassion thrives as a way of life.

​

We seek to be a beacon of hope and love in Chicago,

inspiring individuals and families to embrace

the transformative power of empathy and service.

​

Our vision is to cultivate a caring environment that nurtures spiritual growth, fosters meaningful connection and actively reaches out to those in need. By embodying the teachings of Christ, we aspire to create a lasting impact in our neighborhoods and beyond, empowering all to share their gifts and contribute to a more compassionate world.

​

Together, we will build bridges of understanding, promote justice, and celebrate diversity as we work toward a future where every person feels valued, loved and supported on their journey of faith​​​​​.​

​

This is the Community Church of Christ Jesus we call home.

On May 5, 1872, necessity made "denominations" a secondary consideration​​ to the Worship of God and the care of His people.​

Bethany Union was born!
