This Sunday: Reopening Plans and Worship Services

On-Campus Services, Sunday, June 21
We extend a warm invitation to everyone in the community as we resume on-campus worship services at Fourth Presbyterian Church! Safety continues to be our top priority for our community as we enter this first phase of gathering. Physical distancing limits our capacity, and therefore advance registration is required for all three services. Learn more and reserve a space.
At this time there is no childcare or on-site Sunday school. All ages are welcome in the services. There are online classes and activities for children, youth, and adults.
