Open Doors. Open Minds.
Open Hearts.

Our church doors have been open in the Lakeview neighborhood since 1883. We believe God loves us just as we are and calls us to be and do more than ever before.

There’s a place for you here.

Whoever you are and however you describe yourself, we really do try to welcome you and see you like God does – beautifully created in the image of one who loves us and frees us to serve.

Resurrection Lutheran Church (RLC) is a vibrant, welcoming congregation in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood that also offers preschool for 2-5 year olds.

 

We are a unique, progressive community of young adults, families, and older adults.

 

We're a Reconciling in Christ congregation that welcomes, affirms and includes all people. Our mission is to invite, include, involve, and inspire people in Christ.

At Resurrection, you’ll find opportunities to study God’s word, serve our local and global neighbors, and gather in community/fellowship with others.

We pray, listen to the sermon and readings from the Bible, and take some time for silence. We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday, gathering around the table where Jesus is host.

Ministry

RLC is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), a Christian denomination with 3.7 million members in 9,300 congregations across the U.S. and in the Caribbean region. As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbors.

Community

Inspired by our faith in Christ, we are a church that is engaged in the community. Resurrection Lutheran Church (RLC) serves in a variety of ways, distributing meals to neighbors who are hungry, welcoming and supporting new Americans through RefugeeOne or raising funds for the relief and development work for the ELCA.

Chicago Pride Parade alongside other members of the Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches.

We award grants through our Mission Endowment Fund every winter.

 

Although our community outreach activities are constantly evolving, one thing is constant—our heart for social justice.

“I have been a member of LakeView Lutheran Church for over ten years. I have had nothing but love for our pastor, Pastor Liala and all our congregants. Truly, LakeView is a welcoming community, full of love, humility, caring, and most importantly, a place where the Holy Spirit dwells."

Gregory Walker, Church Member
