North Shore Baptist Church

About this church

North Shore Baptist Church is a multicultural Chicago congregation whose Sunday schedule reflects its long ministry among immigrant and refugee communities. English, Spanish, and Karen gatherings share the Lakewood Avenue property, while the church’s history records earlier Filipino and Korean fellowships and welcome for refugees from Europe, the Middle East, Burma, and Africa. Its mission joins Christian worship and formation with respect across cultural difference and practical service in Chicago and overseas.

Spanish worship begins Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in Howel Hall, English worship at 10:00 in the sanctuary and on Facebook Live, and Karen worship at noon in Kraft Chapel. The school-year youth group meets Friday from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. for singing, games, reflection, and discussion. Visitors can review the English bulletin online before attending. Mission partnerships include housing and care for impoverished older adults in Mexico and outreach to women in the commercial sex industry in the Philippines, alongside refugee advocacy and other service trips. The congregation’s multiple language communities are distinct worship gatherings rather than simple translations of one service, so families should choose the hour and location matching their community. Children’s stories and other resources are available online, while current special projects are maintained on separate mission pages rather than a single recurring calendar.
