Our Identity
First Christian Church of Chicago is a multiethnic congregation that mirrors God's design as stated in Revelation 7:9, a church of every tribe, language, people and nation. Several nations are represented in a congregation that brings people together as family.
Our History
First Christian Church of Chicago began as Englewood Church of Christ in the storefront of a real estate office in 1885.
In 1903, Englewood Church of Christ purchased a building at 66th and Stewart that served as home until the late 1950s.
In 1961, First Christian Church of Chicago moved into its present facilities in the Ashburn neighborhood.
In the 1980s and 90s, God began to fulfill his desire of crafting FCCC into a multiethnic community. The first sizeable group to become part of the church was two large Filipino families. Later, as the Ashburn neighborhood began to change ethnically, African-Americans became a growing segment of the congregation. More recently, the church started a Spanish-speaking congregation to reach our newest neighbors.
