Welcome to Bethany Chicago, a member of the United Church of Christ, and a proud part of the Ravenswood community since 1896. We invite you to join us for worship and Sunday School at 10 a.m. Nursery care is available during worship. During the summer months, services take place outdoors in Bethany’s tree-shaded courtyard.

Bethany Church is located at 4250 N. Paulina Street, at the corner of Paulina and Cullom, one block south of Montrose and one block west of Ashland. The Montrose stop on the brown line is convenient to the church, as are several bus routes. For those who are driving, Bethany has weekend access to the parking lot of Ravenswood School, directly across the street from the church on the Cullom side. Street parking is also typically available.

Bethany is handicap accessible with a lift that can be accessed from the Cullom side of the church. We are accessible in other ways as well. Bethany is an Open and Affirming congregation that welcomes the full participation of its GLBT members. Perhaps the sentence on our outdoor sign says it best:

“No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”

Bethany Church is home to a variety of community organizations, including Chicago Montessori School, the Chicago Barn Dance Company, Chicago Kendo Dojo, VOX3, Weight Watchers, Friends of Ravenswood School, the Chi-Town Squares and an assortment of volleyball groups. If a marriage or commitment ceremony is in your future, we invite you to check out the link to “weddings” on this page.
