Progressive Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

Progressive Missionary Baptist Church is a Chicago congregation whose mission is to make Jesus known through praise, preaching, and purposeful work in the world. Worship blends song, prayer, sermon, invitation, fellowship, Mass Choir, and occasional liturgical dance. Ministries span Christian education, youth mentoring, parking and security, care for sick and bereaved members, baptism preparation, music, service, and fellowship for different life stages.

Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 11:00. Wednesday prayer begins at 6:30 p.m. and worship at 7:00. Children’s Church for ages three through twelve meets on the second through fourth Sundays, not every week. The youth ministry also includes mentoring for boys and girls ages ten through eighteen, choir, and praise dance. A parking and security team helps vehicles enter and leave the lot and watches over members, visitors, and cars, useful context for a first urban-campus visit. The newcomer page emphasizes relationships and fellowship, while the “Progressive” overview explains what happens in worship. Special anniversaries and community events use dated schedules and may expand the ordinary service. Visitors bringing children on a first Sunday should plan for family worship or confirm an alternative, since the published children’s program begins only on the second Sunday of the month.
