🔦 TCP Weekly Spotlight
🎉 SERVING THE COMMUNITY
We’re celebrating with Together Chicago the launch of a new Gospel Justice Center at Faith in God Anointed Ministries in Auburn Gresham! Led by Senior Pastor Lonney Davis & Team, this center is dedicated to meeting legal needs in underserved communities, offering affordable legal consultations for just a $30 co-pay. The opening event welcomed Alderman David Moore (17th Ward), who affirmed the importance of justice and community collaboration. Gospel Justice Centers provide guidance on housing, family matters, and expungements, ensuring that those who need help most can access it.
