I would like to start off by saying that I was never really introduced to going to church as a kid…read morebecause my dad is catholic but my mom is atheist. I was invited to go to Redeemer by a friend of mine a few months ago and my whole idea of going to church has changed since then. I remember the first day I went, I was unsure of what I was getting myself into. The church was small and the pastor was wearing a flannel and jeans. However, as the service continued I started to really like it. People who didn't even know me welcomed me to the church and introduced themselves. They even sent me a welcoming package to my house with some information about the church and some brownies! (They were amazing by the way) I made friends with all of the people around my age the same day I arrived. Everyone there is so friendly and I feel as if I can talk to anyone there even if I don't know them. The church also has many programs to sign up for such as car washes, youth group trips, and so much more. It's a very interactive place to be. You're not just sitting in a chair the whole time listening to a long speech. The pastor makes everything fun to listen to. When it was time to go, I figured we would just leave right away and I would go home. However, I was surprised when I found myself staying after for a snack provided by the church and talked to a few people while we were there. We didn't end up leaving for another hour or so after! I had so much fun. I continue to go to this church and recommend it to everyone! People of all ages, races, genders, and religious backgrounds are welcome here. I can almost guarantee you'll love it!

I regularly attend the Redeemer Chicago campus and have gone to the Redeemer Park Ridge campus as…read morewell... the Chicago campus is much closer to us! We do know people from both sites and love the community we have formed. My wife and I moved to the area a little over a year ago and tried a few churches in the area and liked a hand full but really liked Redeemer Chicago. Its mission is 20 and 30 somethings which is one thing that got us in the door, considering we are in that age group! I am glad that is their mission because I do believe that age group is overlooked by the church at times. That said, it is not the only age group of people at the church and all are welcome! I do value that we have a wide variety of ages and walks of life at Redeemer. I love this church and love the people in it! I have formed a great community with people at this church and am in small groups as well. I gave it 4, really 4.5 but can't do half stars :), because I am a realist and no place is absolutely perfect this side of heaven... but I really love this church and have found a great community to walk with in my spiritual journey. Come visit us! I hope you enjoy it and if you don't... I hope you find a place that you can grow in community with people and your relationship with Jesus!

The acoustics, lighting, and comfort were perfect for the performers and audience alike. On the hottest day of the year to date, the AC worked great and we were all very comfortable.

Thumbs up and thank you!

This review is regarding the rental of the Upper Commons space at Glenview Community Church. Our…read moreorganization rented out this space for a group of 48 members at our annual summer social. The Upper Commons is great for groups as it is a beautiful, bright and airy space with many windows and tall ceilings. There is a newly renovated area with open granite counters and a mini refrigerator with storage that is welcoming and useful for serving drinks and food that overlooks the seating area. Dave was a joy to work with in every way, from showing us the space and signing contracts to assisting with the set up of our tables and seating on the day of the event. When a mishap occurred on our end, he was very gracious about it. Everyone had a wonderful time at our event, and this venue was perfect.

Had been following James Ward Jr. on his radio program 'Cultural Conversations' and found his radio broadcast very uplifting, refreshing, unique. Never imagined I would be actually attending his church, like ever. If I had to describe him I'd say he's less of a traditional, run of the mill pastor and more like a motivational speaker / CEO very cool guy. Very real, down to earth, authentic atmosphere. James Ward jr. offers an almost decadent buffet of powerful messages that stirs you and boosts you out of your comfort zone and into actualizing your faith + prayer life, not just being a sideline Christian. He teaches us how to bring it in the streets, in our homes, and in the workplace. Highly recommended.

We started attending when living in the area temporarily while our home was being renovated and never left, even though it's a long ride from our home. I babysit my 2 year old grand nephew on Sundays and he attends bridge kids. At first my niece was nervous, she's a single mom and protective. One visit to bridge kids and that child can't wait for next week. I appreciate the investment Bridge places in their children's ministry and have experienced first hand what a 2 year old can learn and how what he's learning has impacted his life. He talks about Jesus and has made friends. There truly is the exact right space for every person, adult, college, high school, grade school and little ones at this church.

Located in the far north Sauganash neighborhood of the City of Chicago, Queen of All Saints…read moreBasilica is a historic Roman Catholic church. It has great meaning (past and present) for my wife's family, and we were able to use it as a place for remembrance during the start of Lent in 2025. Basilicas are Catholic churches with special privileges and historical significance, granted by the Pope and approved by the Vatican. There are four 'major' ones, all located in Rome, and many minor ones (with three in the City of Chicago). A Cathedral is the church that serves as the home for a Catholic Diocese, with the Holy Name Cathedral being that for the Chicago arch-diocese (though it is not a basilica). The Queen of All Saints was completed in 1960, with Pope John XXIII elevating it to a basilica in 1962. Our families came for the 8:30 am mass on a Monday, to remember the one year death anniversary of our dad. We came early, and witnessed the rosary led by layman (mostly Filipinos from what I can tell). By 8:30 am, the front of the church was filled up. After the mass, our families stayed to do our rosary for the dead.
