Messiah Lutheran Church
Welcome to Messiah, we look forward to worshiping with you and connecting you with a community full of believers!
Welcome to Messiah!
As an affiliate of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, we strive to bring the saving message of Jesus Christ to all His children. We serve the northwest side communities of Chicago, and have been a member of this community for over 90 years!
We are saved by grace through faith, as explained in Romans 3:22-24, and that it is by Christ's sacrificial death on the cross that we may enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Join us in worship each Sunday morning at 9:30AM, followed by Fellowship Hour and Sunday School. Some Sunday services feature traditional Lutheran liturgy while other Sundays feature a more contemporary service lead by our Praise Jesus Band.

Pastor Appreciation Sunday
We got a chance to say "Thank You" to Pastor Hanson for serving our congregation for over a year now despite being "retired". We praise God for his service here at Messiah and are so thankful for his presence each Sunday leading worship.

Backpack Blessing Saturday
We invited all students to bring their backpacks to get blessed as we head into another school year. Everyone also had a lot of fun with Mr. Scott's Giant Bubbles! Check out the pictures.
UKANDU 2023
Thank you to the group from UKANDU for their help this summer. They painted our Pastor's office, built some off the ground planters for our gardeners, and shared Jesus with our kids for Vacation Bible School week. Thank you to Pastor Pete Imlah and UKANDU for all the work you do for our Lutheran churches!
Check out the pictures from the week.

Easter 2023
We had a beautiful worship service on Easter Sunday with wonderful music, an uplifting sermon, and an altar full of flowers.
Christ is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed. Alleluia!
Palm Sunday 2023
Our kids enjoyed processing and waving their palm branches as we celebrate Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem as Holy Week begins.
Our Budding Future Organist
One of our youngest members may one day be our church organist. Lorelai Bosko has been taking piano lessons lately and has progressed to playing a bit on the organ. Under the tutelage of Katrina Jurica (music teacher at St John's Lutheran School and an occassional organist at Messiah), Lorelai has played a couple of preservice pieces for us prior to our church service. We look forward to hearing you play more in the future!

Backpack Blessing
Our kids had a wonderful day getting their backpacks blessed as they start the new school year. Then they were entertained by Steve the Magician with some magical tricks. Check out the pictures on our Happenings at Messiah Page. Thank you to Pastor Browne from Our Saviour and Pastor Ehrhard from St. John's.
Back to Church Community Fest
We had a wonderful day celebrating Back to Church Sunday! We had tasty tacos from Chew On This and great soft serve ice cream for dessert. Our kids loved getting their faces painted and jumping in the inflatables! The adults enjoyed bingo and everyone loved the Comfort Dogs!
