Temporary Service Time:
Sundays at 9:30 AM
We are a community that rejoices in our diversity and shares a common commitment to grow and serve, to celebrate the gift of life and to use our individual gifts to make the world a better place.
We believe that God is a mystery; a mystery, like our own lives, to be experienced and entered into, not a puzzle to be solved. That is why we honor questions as much as answers. We seek to explore the mysteries of our lives and of the world around us.
Following Jesus’ example, we strive to be an inclusive fellowship, breaking down all those barriers which divide us. We welcome all people regardless of age, race, religion, income, or sexual life. We celebrate all who join with us this morning in song, reflection, and prayer.
What We Believe
We are a proud member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Our History
At LakeView Lutheran, we are always looking for opportunities to serve the community. LVLC has partnered with several organizations over the years that do incredibly meaningful work in our communities, including:
- Migrant Support- in the past year and a half, hundreds of migrants from Central and South America have been brought to Chicago and have lacked access to basic needs. Volunteers from across the area have partnered with LVLC to fulfill basic needs the migrants have and support them until they move to city-run shelters.
- Hot Soup Ministry- this program serves hot meals once a month to the unhoused living in tent encampments along the city expressways.
- Lakeview Employment Group (LEG) - a non-profit organization that provides employment support for people facing extra challenges such as homelessness, chronic unemployment, criminal backgrounds, or youth (18-24).
