LIFE ON THE VINE

A GREENHOUSE OF GOD'S PRESENCE

welcome to life on the vine

A church where diverse voices shape our shared life.


In our noisy, hectic, and divisive world, we are a contemplative, liturgical, and justice-oriented community in the northwestern suburbs of Chicago. You are invited to experience the holy and mysterious presence of God through silence, Scripture, prayer, the Eucharist, and friendship among us. A deeper and fuller life emerges when we connect with God's presence and one another.


We are a church of full inclusion, real fellowship, and deep discipleship.

*First Sundays of the Month: All-Ages Worship Services

If you are visiting with us on the first Sunday of the month, please note that children ages 2+ stay with us for the whole service rather than going to their classes midway through.

We've got you covered!

our mission

To connect with God's presence is to have our own hearts converted - to see the belovedness in others, and especially the marginalized, and to join God's loving mission of creating a more just world.
