Local Chicago church news, events, opportunities, and resources—brought to you by The Chicago Partnership
Does your church have emerging leaders you’d love to invest in?
Lead the City 2025 is the perfect place to bring them!
Spend the day with your team—teaching, connection, worship, food trucks, and even fireworks!
Whether you use it to refuel for a new season of ministry or one last chance to gather before summer travel kicks in, your team will walk away with shared memories, practical tools, and new local connections. (And for those interested, it’s a great way for them to hear first-hand about our Church Leadership Cohort launching this fall.)
We’ll make it easy to bring your leaders:
✓ One custom code for your church
✓ Each leader registers individually
✓ We’ll invoice your church afterward—no upfront cost!
Interested? Email samantha@thechicagopartnership.org to get started.
