Who We Are
St. Pauls is a vibrant, progressive, Christian community in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. We are a United Church of Christ congregation. Worship is at the heart of our life together, as we make a joyful sound in our city.

With one foot grounded in our faith history, and the other following Jesus into the 21st Century, we are a traditional church, but not conventional. We welcome diversity, and we welcome you - no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey.
