St. Paul & the Redeemer aims to become a community that mirrors the radical hospitality of Jesus. We do that in five important ways: • Praise God. • Nurture faith. • Connect lives. • Invite all. • Serve neighbor. Located in a vibrant and diverse academic center near the University of Chicago and multiple national seminaries, SPR attracts families and individuals who value a rich and meaningful worship experience, clergy who dig deep into scripture, programming that asks big questions and provides opportunities for shared seeking, and service driven by a constellation of highly successful feeding programs, including a vegetable garden serving local soup kitchens, a weekly food pantry, a soup-making team, and support of a hot lunch program at a sister church in Haiti.
