The reverend is quite older, and needs the assistance of his co-pastor, but the 'word' was still well received. The choir was great and kept me very involved! I plan to attend again very soon to get a better idea of the a normal church service, as I went on first Sunday so we had communion, and no bendiction. Overall, I would recommend this church for anyone living up North looking for a Baptist Church. Be aware..Service was suppose to start at 11am, and it started around 12ish.

This church is located north of Chicago in Evanston, IL which is a suburb of Chicago. I drove down from Ohio with some women from various Northeast Ohio Vineyard churches. CONFERENCE - The 2025 Vineyard Women's conference was amazing. It was 3 days and 2 nights. The conference was broke down into morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. The conference was filled with fellowship (praise and worship), learning God's word through hearing speakers in large and small group settings, connecting with other women, small group discussions, and prayer time. During the conference, there were breaks scheduled through the day for lunch, snacks, and dinner. CHURCH -- The church itself is fairly big inside with plenty of parking outside on a parking lot. As I walked in each day of the MORE conference, I was greeted by either church staff or the National Vineyard Women's committee staff. The church has lots of ministries for members to get actively involved with, such as Bible studies and volunteer opportunities. I enjoyed visiting Vineyard Church in Evanston and I had a wonderful time at the MORE Women's Conference. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 142/250 total reviews in 2026 - 983 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 25 June 2026

My fiancé and I moved to Chicago in December and started looking for a new catholic church. Every…read moreSunday we went to a different church around the downtown area until we finally found what we were looking for...a small church, with a community feel, and an amazing priest/sermons. The following sums up Immaculate Conception: Great Priest --- Fr. Larry is amazing! He is very personable, remembers everyone by name, and most importantly delivers great sermons. We take something away from every mass we attend. Amazing Music --- The music is awesome. It's not traditional, boring church music. It's very modern, with a great rhythm and beat. Community Feel --- Fr. Larry is a big reason this church has a sense of community. Once he found out we were new to the area and church, he immediately introduce us to other parishioners and gave us a warm welcome. Free Parking & Easily Accessible ---- Do I have to say more? This is not something that's easy to find in Chicago. Immaculate Conception has its own school and parking lot that is free for parishioners. Flexible Mass Times --- Immaculate Conception also has a sister church called St.Joseph a couple blocks away. Between the two churches you have a lot of different mass times to pick and choose from. We absolutely love it here, and you will too! If your new to Chicago and looking for a great Catholic church, trust me....Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph are it! :)

What I can tell you is that every person I've encountered at the school is extremely friendly and helpful, the gym is beautiful and clean, and they also have great sports equipment.

Well, I hate giving a church anything less than a 4 or 5 star rating, but I have some personal…read moreobservations that are very important to me that keep me from rating this church any higher. My one really big concern is one that I'm sure some will find equally important and some will dismiss as a non issue. First I'll start out with a minor observation that although it's not very important to me others may find it fairly important so I'll mention it. What I'm referring to is a pretty lukewarm welcome. There was a nice young lady at the door when I entered the church and a couple men just inside the entryway who smiled and said hi and that was the only welcome I received from anybody. Personally I don't go to church to make friends and am there almost exclusively to hear the Word of God through the sermon that the Pastor preaches. For other people who do want a warm welcome when they visit a church this may be an area that this church wants to consider making some changes to accommodate those peoples feelings. Now on to the reason I don't feel I can rate this church any higher. When I visited a few weeks ago the Pastor was preaching on family and at one point he read a verse from the Bible that stated along the general line that if a person divorces and remarries they are committing adultery. At that point he did acknowledge that yes that verse is an uncomfortable one for many people within the church and then he quickly moved on to other points. I'm not coming at this point from a holier than thou attitude since I am divorced and I'm sure if he'd have expanded on the subject I'm sure I'd have been kind of uncomfortable and squirming in my seat some, but hey I'm there to hear the Word of God not what I necessarily want to hear so I couldn't have complained if he had discussed this verse that could affect so many people, myself included. My problem is I honestly believe the churches of our society are almost becoming more like social clubs instead of places we go to hear the Word of God preached. Nowdays pastors seem to want to preach the parts of the Bible that give their congregation those nice warm fuzzy feelings, but won't take a stand and preach on the parts of the Bible that make their congregations really think about where they may really need to adjust their beliefs or actions. I do believe it is appropriate to preach those warm fuzzy parts of the Bible, but I also believe that ALL of God's word needs to be preached even if it makes the people in the congregation or the preacher feel uncomfortable. Maybe this was just a one time thing, but to me it really reminded me of so many other modern churches who are unwilling to preach about sin since people don't like to hear that. Hopefully I'm wrong in my assessment of this church, but this is my honest feelings on this church. I think a person could do worse than attending this church, but I can't help wondering if maybe this is just another "social club" like so many of our other churches. I honestly hope my impression of this church is wrong and I wish them well, I just don't feel that I'll be returning.
