Holy Covenant MCC is an open and affirming Christian community of faith that has been serving the Chicagoland area for over 30 years. We celebrate the call of the Bible to embody the spirit of hospitality. It is in this spirit that we welcome people of all genders, races, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, and socio-economic means to participate in the full life and ministry of Holy Covenant.
It is in this spirit that we especially welcome you to attend one of our worship services. We have two Sunday services—one at 9:00 a.m., and one at 11:00 a.m. The 9:00 service contains elements similar to most mainline Protestant traditions (Methodist and Presbyterian, for example), while the 11:00 a.m. service elements lean in a more “informal” direction in their style of worship. And you can’t beat the food and conversation during our social hours between services, as well as following the 11:00 a.m. service!
May you find Inspiration in your visit!
Holy Covenant also provides many services to the Community that are commonly provided by larger organized traditions such as Weddings, Holy Unions, Baptism, etc., and our building is available for rent to use for parties, dances, anniversaries, conferences or business meetings, etc. If you are interesting in renting our facility please call the church or email ian@holycovenantmcc.org.
