The Debt on the Near North Building is Paid Off
In 2005, God blessed Park Community Church with the opportunity to purchase an old warehouse in the Near North neighborhood of Chicago. For the first time since our founding in 1987, we would have a permanent place to call our own. Thanks to the sacrifice of hundreds of people, the warehouse was transformed into a church home where thousands could engage with the gospel message.
Today, we're thrilled to announce that our Park Community Church Near North building has officially been paid off. We can't thank you all enough for the ways in which you've contributed to advancing the Kingdom over the years. Take a look at the list below to see how the building has blessed the church and community in recent years.
