Peoples Church, A spiritual home for people
of conscience!
Welcome!
At Peoples Church you can come as you are. Ours is a healing, safe space for the
peaceful exchange of ideas; concentrating on our commonalities, while
appreciating our differences. Located in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, one
of the most diverse communities in the US, we are a gathering place for
open-minded, liberal Christians, Humanists and all others.
At Peoples Church we embrace diversity and freedom of thought around our
global village and down the block. The Peoples Church is deeply rooted in our
neighborhood. Church members and volunteers can participate in community
service: everything from serving a free lunch, to
using your skills at the shelter housed in the church building, to mediating
housing issues, to participating in musical or theatrical events. The Peoples
Church believes in working with others to build a better world, while
fostering our spiritual and personal growth and practicing the golden rule.
Join with us!
Peoples Church has affiliations with the Unitarian
Universalist Association and the United
Church of Christ. Though the language of our worship is primarily
Christian, our doors are open to all who seek to know the Divine.
May this church stand as an open door of Liberality and
Truth. May bigotry and fanaticism never escape from the lips of its minister.
May it always be an open door to the downtrodden and the broken and the
bruised and the bleeding. …[M]ay it be a place in the life of this city where
people feel that they can come and think for themselves in matters of
religious philosophy; may this church be a great source of inspiration in this
city for the cause of Truth and Justice.
Dr. Preston Bradley
