A church with heart on Chicago’s South Side
Rooted in the love of Jesus. Growing in grace. Serving our neighbors with open hearts and willing hands.
Welcome to Maryland Avenue
We are a close-knit church family where every person matters—and where faith moves beyond Sunday morning.
Whether you have been walking with God for years or are simply looking for hope, you are welcome here. Come worship, ask questions, build real relationships, and join us as we care for the community we call home.
Talk with Pastor Jeffrey D. WileyLove in action
Our vision is simple: to make the love of Christ visible. Through community missionary work, we want our building, our time, and our gifts to become a blessing to Chicago.
Creating space for health fairs, screenings, trusted resources, and whole-person care for our neighbors.
Bringing people around the table through soup kitchen service and practical support offered with dignity.
Listening first, praying faithfully, and building community partnerships that meet real needs close to home.
