We are a progressive worshipping community of Christians in the Episcopal tradition in a thriving suburb southwest of Chicago. We believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ - and take to heart his teaching of the inclusive love of God. Our worship straddles a wide-reaching tradition with a decidedly progressive and inclusive theology that comes out of our preaching, hospitality and service to the community.
This is a diverse family church. Children are invited to stay through worship and we provide crayons and children’s bulletins for their amusement and learning, too. We are used to having infants and toddlers and older children, and we encourage their participation and presence.
We have a historic "prairie gothic" cozy sanctuary and beautiful grounds in the heart of New Lenox, just off I-80. The church recently celebrated both its 150th anniversary and its changeover from a mission to a parish in the Diocese of Chicago.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
