TCP Weekly → Sept 18
Soaking up the last bits of summer, a full Sept/Oct roster of local events, new podcasts and seminary opportunities, and celebrating 145 years in South Shore.
Join the Partnership
This past week our TCP team gathered on one of the last beautiful days of summer, sharing good food, friendship, and meaningful conversation. We welcomed new board and advisory board members and looked ahead with hope to the hard work before us in serving Chicago together.
We are grateful for our growing community of local churches, many represented at this table, that have committed to the shared mission of making Jesus visible in every neighborhood.
If you are in church leadership and would like to explore how your congregation might partner with us, we would love to hear from you at info@thechicagopartnership.org.
