Greetings all,

It has been quite some time since my last update. Things have been going incredibly well working with Redeemer in Chicago, IL. At the end of January, we successfully hosted our first “preview” worship for our third campus on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Part of the excitement is that we are being graciously hosted free of charge by Old Irving Brewing Co., at 4419 W. Montrose Ave. We had over 90 people experience worship with Redeemer, hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and recieveing the Lord’s Supper together. In anticipation for this first worship service, we sent out a post-card mailer to 20,000 homes on the Northwest side of Chicago, announcing our presence and intention in the community. This, as well as daily outreach ministry and social media, has helped build the framework for a new church presence in the Portage Park neighborhood in Chicago.

Moving ahead, we are now in a season of monthly “preview” worship services, beginning on March 5th, and meeting the first Sunday of each month.

Otherwise, God has continued to bless the efforts of the church here in Chicago, as well as my own work here. To God be the glory, now and forever!
