At Park Near North, we believe Jesus can change our city and our world. Because of that belief, we have partnerships with multiple organizations that are bringing the gospel to Chicago and the world. Check them out below! And if you decide to volunteer, tell them we sent you!

ALPHA
Alpha is an 11-week course that creates a friendly, open, and informal space where people can come and discuss life’s big questions. People attend from all backgrounds, religions, and viewpoints to investigate questions about the existence of God, the purpose of life, and the claims of Jesus.

Beulah Strip Church
Based on God's redeeming love found in Isaiah 62, Beulah brings the truth of Jesus' compassion to those involved in the adult entertainment/sex industry. Loving women through the shame, secrecy, and abuse that occurs in strip clubs, Beulah introduces Jesus' pure, unrestrictive, and holy love that He has for them.
