Organic Church Chicago

The Underground Church Network (UGN) is a relationally connected group of organic churches (reproducing small groups) that follow Jesus in mission in Chicago.Meeting in homes, pubs, coffee houses, parks…wherever life happens. They may live or work together, share a common worship style or a common purse.

Whatever the shape and skin of the faith community, all share a core DNA of:

Divine Truth Learning to listen to God and do what he says is at the core of every part of our network. Reading God’s Word, listening prayers, communal discernment, are key practices in our community. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength…”

Nurturing Relationships Our dream is to see a vibrant family of Jesus emerge in your context. An authentic faith community that is real with their doubts, fears, joys…every season of life. This community that values spiritual formation, confession, discipleship and love. We enjoy nurturing relationships at various levels and through that learn to live outside of ourselves “…and love our neighbor as ourselves. “

Apostolic Mission We believe the church does not exist for us, but that we are the church, for the sake of the world. To the very core of us we are about making disciples in the image of Christ, learning to live into the life Jesus describes. Each community is called to a purpose beyond itself, the whole Church sharing the whole Gospel with the whole city. “Go into all the world and make disciples…”
