Fourth Presbyterian Church

About this church

Fourth Presbyterian Church is the historic congregation at 126 East Chestnut Street beside Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Its current summer schedule offers one Sunday service at 10 a.m. from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, with worship also online and by telephone. Scripture and preaching remain central, supported by a substantial music ministry. Nursery care opens fifteen minutes before worship and remains available until fifteen minutes afterward; children are also welcome in the sanctuary, where ushers provide child-oriented bulletins. Because the site still references a 9:30 livestream in some general guidance, visitors should use the current-week page when the seasonal schedule changes.

Fourth Church describes its worshiping community through the inclusive love of God revealed in Jesus and treats that love as a call to public service. Its Mission and Justice ministries combine immediate care with longer-term partnerships: meals, showers, social-service casework, tutoring, an urban farm, neighborhood programs, and advocacy for peace and justice. Families can connect through Sunday School, choirs, youth groups, retreats, and gatherings for younger children. For arrival, accessible ramps serve the Michigan Avenue, Chestnut, and Delaware entrances, while the church publishes time-limited Sunday discounts at nearby garages—details worth checking carefully in downtown Chicago.
