"A Place for All" Campaign

We have been at the corner of Hoyne & LeMoyne since 1879. The current building dates from 1906 and presents limitations to how the community can gather. We are embarking on a $1.4 million+ campaign to address these limitations.

This phase will better (1) welcome diversity with an elevator and ADA-accessible, gender-neutral bathrooms, (2) preserve and restore our historic architecture, and (3) enhance community spaces.

We’re well on our way to hitting the goal. and our support will ensure historic architecture and community engagement will continue for generations to come!

Instead, what he exposed was something deeper — the human desire to be seen as good, to be admired for our faithfulness, to measure our worth by how we…

Transfiguration of Our Lord

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Vicar Sarah Freyermuth February 15, 2026 During Youth Group a few weeks ago, we were watching a video that talked about how important it is that Jesus came to the world as a poor baby from Bethlehem, which the video jokingly and not-so-nicely referred to as a “backwater of a backwater town in those days.” And after the video, I asked the youth why they thought it mattered that Jesus came to us in this form,…
