New Church in Chicago

Over the last two years, we have been excited to follow along as Willow Creek was getting ready to launch their city church.  Park Community Church has had a long history with Willow — in fact we are about the 15th church to join the Willow Creek Association back more than 10 years ago.

On October 1, Willow Creek started having services in Chicago in the Auditorium Theater.  This will be a video site, which will play on large video screens the pastor’s message from the day before (Saturday) from their suburban Barrington church services.  Having been in the city for 19 years, we know that need that exists in the city for churches that are reaching non-churched people and Willow will be a great addition to the network of churches already here. They have a great young “campus” pastor named Steve Wu — we look forward to meeting him and spending some time with him.  We say “welcome”!
