​HISTORY

Picture
The Short Version of Our Story:
Church in the Loop is a new and growing church in the heart of Chicago’s downtown. In 2010, God led Brian Evans and his family to Chicago from Columbia, Missouri  to start a church planting movement.  

A church planting movement is based on the idea of starting multiple churches that in turn start new churches (that repeat this cycle over and over again).  It's one thing to go and start a new church.  It's another to prayerfully pursue a church planting movement. 

Our vision is to plant churches all along the ‘L’ of the Chicago subway system.  So this means that each line of the system would be a family of churches networking together, helping each other with various mission projects and outreaches, and sharing members and leaders with one another.

The first church of this vision, Church in the Loop, was established on St. Patrick's Day in March of  2013.  It is located in the heart of downtown Chicago on the south side of the Loop at 24  E. Congress Parkway (Hostelling International, 2nd Floor) near the Jackson Red Line stop.  Sunday services start at 11:00 a.m. and typically go to about 12:30.
