Outreach

From its earliest days, the Christian movement was concerned not just about its own members. Instead, the followers of Jesus were commanded to bear witness to Jesus in tangible ways, from their own backyards to the farthest reaches of the earth (Acts 1:8). For us, local and global outreach is not “extra credit” Christianity; rather, this outreach is the heart of our faith. Sharing the Good News of God might be done with words, deeds, or simply our presence—or even a combination of all three! God invites us to partner with him in his mission to restore the brokenness of our world, and he accomplishes it by the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us.
Fr. Matt Woodley Mission Pastor

Local

Our ministries to the poor and marginalized of our community are rooted in our desire to walk with them rather than do projects for them.  We believe in the dignity of every human being and we seek to love, protect and empower the vulnerable.

Racial Reconciliation:
Walk Across the Street

We partner with Walk Across the Street to break down racial barriers through worship, fellowship, and praying together. Resurrection members worship at predominantly black churches on Chicago’s west side on the last Sunday of every month.

Global

We want to send people to and support projects where the Church is not visible or viable, including areas where there is little to no access to the good news of Jesus, and places where the Church is under attack.

Advent Gift (December)

Sebastian, Daniela, Amalia, Mateo, and Marina

In 2014, Resurrection began a generosity tradition of collecting items during the Advent season to benefit local mission ministries.

This past year (2019), we stocked an entire house for the Vargas family, who moved to the U.S. from Chile to pastor Iglesia de la Resurrección and reach out to the local Latino community in DuPage county.

Good Friday Gift (March)

Since 2002, Resurrection has collected a special yearly offering during the season of Lent as a response to God’s sacrificial love for us in Christ. This gift to one of our global mission partners serves to embody the love of Jesus and further his mission around the world.

Good Friday Gift 2020 details will be announced soon!
