Welcome to Renewed Hope, a United Methodist Church. We appreciate you taking a few minutes to learn more about our church. We understand that visiting a new church can be a stressful experience and we will do everything possible to make your visit comfortable. Renewed Hope is an honest and passionate community of spiritual seekers, inclusive of all. Whether you are in town visiting or looking for a church to call home you are welcome here. Join us for worship Sunday mornings at 10 am. We hope to see you soon!
Renewed Hope United Methodist Church reflects the marriage of two legacy congregations – Irving Park/Big Shoulders and Berry United Methodist Churches. Each church served their Chicago communities for more than 100 years.
Both churches have been pioneering members of the Reconciling Ministries Network, which works for the full participation of all LGBTQ+ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church. As part of our commitment to inclusion, Renewed Hope conducts a monthly dementia-friendly worship with residents at Aperion Care Wesley.
Renewed Hope is a growing family, and everyone is welcome to join us!
The two congregations have been spiritually aligned, putting body and soul into partnerships for greater justice, spreading food, assistance to the poor, and sharing our smiles and tender love.
Renewed Hope hosts a wide range of social, spiritual, progressive cause-related activities to engage the community including small group book discussions, Bible study, game nights, potlucks, pet blessings and marching in the Pride Parade.
The church volunteers for community groups like the local food pantry and Lawrence Hall. The United Women in Faith is dedicated to supporting women & children. We invite you to feel the Renewed Hope of our community.
