My fiance and I attended City Church for a year and a half. We initially grew to love the many services and Growth Track, but ultimately felt unwelcome and unimportant in the end. We are so disappointed and hurt by a church that stated that they are welcoming and never want anyone to feel alone. After reaching out to pastors and the worship team multiple times, we never received any follow through. We pictured ourselves working with City Kids and completing marriage counseling through the church. However, they don't seem to care about us as much as they seem to care about expanding the church and it's popularity. We hope to find a Christian community to grow in elsewhere that will be interested in the talents and passion we have to bring to our Christian family. I hope the team and pastors at City Church learn to be more present with their visitors/fellow Christians.

Can't go wrong with been in church on Sunday... This is usually the best party of my week and I look forward to hearing the Word! The crowd is always lively and very friendly. You truly have to visit to see for yourself

All are welcome to the City Church Chicago. The services take place in an old night club, so it looks pretty trendy. This church has an extensive pastoral team that each takes a slightly different theological point of view, so you have a diversity of biblical teachings. The lead pastors are Pastor Kent Munsey and his wife Pastor Ali Munsey. They also bring in pastors from around the world such as Christine Caine, Louie Giglio, and Levi Lusko and more to speak at some services including revival nights on some Wednesdays. It is a member of the Hillsong Family of churches so they have spiritual and legal guidance from there. They offer different counseling services such as premarital counseling, spiritual counseling, etc. The music is modern, Hillsong style. They have no formal membership, but have a "Growth Track" where you learn about the church and develop a deeper sense of community with the church. This church has a wide range of volunteer partnerships around Chicago ranging from elementary schools, homeless shelters, and more. There are a lot of young people in the church. The services are Sundays at 8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, and 5:00pm. They have children's centers for different age groups that children can go during the services.

My nephew that had fallen away from the Catholic Church years ago because of the internal struggle of the Vatican and the inappropriate behavior of priests. He became confused and disillusioned. As much as I tried to explain that that was not God and his love it fell on deaf ears.A friend of his introduced him to your church and he has been in love with it ever since and yesterday was baptized!Gos is so good and always on time . Thank you for being a tool in showing him how much God loves him . What a fabulous place

I'd honestly give fewer stars, but it feels wrong - because it's a church and if it gives people comfort, an avenue to spiritual fulfillment and good deeds - hard to fault. And I'm sure there are many kind and well intentioned people who attend. They might do some good in the community - I don't know. Something just doesn't sit right with me here. I attended twice and felt the same (like I wanted to leave) - so I did some research. I just think Jesus might be flipping some tables here. "My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." But, if you want to see a Christian concert - they have some talented people and what sounds like a pricey and way too loud sound system for the size of the venue. That's not what I'm looking for - so the search continues....

I called this church home since I was about 18 and it's perfect place for the youth to find christ jesus and grow positive relationships and learn about the city and maybe even go on a mission trip! Absolutely love every bit of City Church Chicago!!

I thought I would try out many churches when I moved to Chicago. I never made it to another church, I didn't want to miss a week! I've developed a strong community of people I can do life with and I loveeee it.

Grateful to a dear friend that introduce me to this amazing church. I've been attending for about six months now and I couldn't be more happy to be part of this amazing church. Thank you City Church for everything that you do for us. Stop by and experience the holy spirit like we do. =)

love love love this church. Great band. great songs! Great energy in the church. Great pastors (on stage)...(never introduced themselves to us)...and we never got an email from any pastors either besides an automated email when we used to tithe weekly. Signed up for multiple groups...never got a call nor email. But this church has an awesome auditorium for the message and music. Its in the old kaboom night club which is kinda epic. (I partied down there in the early 90's).... but unfortunately...we are moving on to another church. After attending this church for almost a year, We tried to get married here and it took them almost a month to respond to multiple email inquiries and multiple weeks in between emails. and the ministry services here are also very unorganized. They have 20-28 year old kids kinda "running things"...it seems. So as I began to perform my ministry here, they asked me, a 47 year old doctor, to clean bathroom stalls and move heavy tables and signs while the 20-28 year olds gave us direction. odd. sorry. beyond odd. And frankly not acceptable. A 47 year old doctor should be in charge while 18-28 year olds who should be cleaning bathrooms and moving tables. Just my opinion. Besides, I was a very poor kid with crack heads and alcoholics for "parents" that became a doctor and business owner. I'm your "unicorn" mentor. I have the actual "unicorn testimony." Use my talents better! :-) I Still love this church though...perfect for young people. Young people will not be unsatisfied. So Go to this church!! Young people will love it!! Old people might too if you are just going for a weekly message but if you are older and want to be "involved" and ministry the lack of organization and recognition of age and wisdom might be difficult for older folks to tolerate. Other than that Great Vibes!! Everyone please Get to know Jesus better!! Jesus saves and Jesus loves and this church will love you and lift up your spirits. Go to church! Go to this church. if you are older, Your experience might be better than mine! Give them a try!! Give Jesus a try!! What have you got to lose?

I can t believe that this Church uses God s house of worship to push a political agenda in asking the corrupt and crooked Jb pritzker to speak and ask for votes. Shame on you!

Not to mention idolizing gangster rap lyrics. Do you really not know how little respect and love that shows. How disappointing.

The Best Ever. I have known Pastor Kent and Pastor Alli since they were very young adults. I personally blessed them at Houlihans Restaurant. They are both beyond great. They are the GIFT of God and I am honor to have "Blessed" them with my prophetic miracle power. World Prophet David. I love you City Church Chicago.

For two years I looked for a church in Chicago and I m so happy to have found City Church. It s welcoming, diverse, people of all ages, and I love the pastors. They talk with passion, and honesty. It just feel genuine. I feel refreshed and uplifted every time I go. They also provide online live service.

Great environment and even better teachings! Love the power and passion that runs deep throughout City Church. Love the many service times and the welcoming and friendly staff. I ve had a friend invite me years ago and just recently started going! Thank you for instilling the light and enhancing the flame that was eager to spark back up! God moves through this church in great ways!!! For a larger church in a big city, they sure know how to make one feel right at home in God s grace.

Awesome Church. What's really awesome is when I was first invited to go here for a visit. I was given just the address and I knew the address was very familiar and could figure out why till I got here. Turns out I used to visit this same place when I was in the world as a nightclub. God is hilarious. Not only will he change you he will change the places you used to go.

We visited this past Sunday while in Chicago for the weekend - and loved it! Very welcoming and friendly. They helped us find seats right away even though we showed up a few minutes after service had started.

The message and worship was powerful.

I would highly recommend swinging by even if you are only in town for the weekend!

Amazing church i definitely felt the presence of God there. I haven't been excited about church and God in a very long time but that church touched me . I think God lead me to go to this church last Sunday because my sisters and i supposed to go to our church but i asked them lets find a nearby church instead because our church is a long drive from home. we googled this and bam! i wont be able to tell you how great the place and service is until you see for yourself

Pastor Kent Munsey is one of the most real pastor's I've ever been blessed to hear. He wears his humility like a magnificent coat, and his love for the Lord and the Lord's people is without question. His wife, Pastor Alli Munsey - is not at all what I expected. She is beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful within. She is truly a great example of living the word. I love City Church Chicago, not only because of the amazing leadership team, but the people... I have never been more blessed to be among those who come together for the simple act of praising the Lord. This is the only church I go to in Chicago - maybe it's because I feel God's presence each time I visit, and maybe I just garner strength being surrounded by those that really love the Lord.

If you're looking for a place that wants you, regardless of who you are or what you have (or don't have) to offer, this is it. This is a beautiful house of God.
