About Our Church

Who We Are

"Living in faith*Caring with Courage"

 

This brief mission statement of Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church reflects what we strive for in our church life and much of what we have accomplished in the past:

• An anti-segregation building policy in the 1870's
• Resettlement of refugees after World War II
• Standing with the inclusive More Light movement beginning in the 1970's
• Involvement with the Lincoln Park Community Shelter starting in 1984 and continuing through the recent shelter redevelopment and housing

.

About the Presbyterian ChurchGod comes to us in free and undeserved favor in the person of Jesus Christ who lived, died, and rose for us that we might belong to God and serve Christ in the world. Following Jesus, Presbyterians are engaged in the world and in seeking thoughtful solutions to the challenges of our time.

 As Christ’s disciples, called to ministry in his name, we seek to continue his mission of teaching the truth, feeding the hungry, healing the broken, and welcoming strangers. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to be Christ’s faithful disciples in the world.
