Holy Family Lutheran Church

Holy Family Lutheran Church has preached a gospel of God’s justice and radical welcome and empowerment of God’s children for over 60 years. At it's core was the mission of "empowerment of indigenous negro leadership in our neighborhood," and to become a holy family for all people.

Holy Family was started as a mission to the people living in the Cabrini-Green public housing complexes, seeking to empower African-American leadership in our community. While the neighborhood of Cabrini-Green has changed from one of the largest and poorest public housing complexes in Chicago to a mixed-income neighborhood, Holy Family has lived out Jesus’ teachings by taking our ministry outside of the church doors and into the community.

Today, we live out that mission in proclaiming God’s grace to a new neighborhood, working for housing justice in Chicago, and as a vibrant multi-racial worshiping community committed to our African-descent roots.
