Mission and Program Overview

Mission

We are a church with a large service arm. The service projects are aimed at serving the needs in our community(50th ward of Chicago/West Ridge). Our aim is to follow the greatest two commandments listed in Matthew 22: 37-39: to love God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds; and to love our neighbor as ourselves. We exist to be ambassadors of reconciliation: helping to reconcile polarized groups of people to each other and to God. (2 Corinthians 5:19)

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Service: Love West Ridge hosts monthly serving events; 12 in all this year. At these events our participants (from the church community, but also Jews, Muslims, Hindus, non religious neighbors) we purchase groceries and household items for our neighbors who have more need. We set up and then distribute to families we have come to know and love. In July we were serving 20 families a month. That has grown to 40 families and finally 55 families in June. We mostly provide items Link cards do not cover: soap, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Over the year we have served 90 distinct families, many of those monthly. The recipients spend a few hours, eat with us and take home groceries. It is beautiful and chaotic, as there are many language groups--but many generous hearts. Please note we have had over 100 unique individuals participate as servers at these giveaways.$0$30,598
Gatherings: This year Love West Ridge hosted 12 gatherings. The purpose of the gatherings is to bring together people who are often polarized: Jews & Muslims & Christians, rich and poor. There is no agenda other than to expose people to one another, as humans, and share a meal. The meals incur most of the cost for this program, as we provide dinner for the group replete with halal and kosher options. At these meals we typically have an ice breaker and ask 3 or so questions to the group. The questions are tailored to stimulate conversation and to find common ground. Over time the goal is to build uncommon frienships--which will have ripples for how the diverse groups that make up West Ridge view each other. One of this year's. most stunning accomplishments was that we had an Orthodox woman host the gathering at her home. She welcomed in among the guests, muslims. One of these particiapants had never been around anyone outside their Daci people group. 52 distinct participants have particpated at gatherings over the course of the year.$0$2,755
Faith: Our third sphere is our faith community. We are a small Christian church. We are motivated to participate in reconciling people to one another, and for those who wish promoting reconciling people to God. This year we have moved to hosting a monthly worship service to have a service every week (with the exception of the week we meet to serve our neighbors at the giveaway.). In addition to our worship services, we have 3 weekly prayer meetings. Love West Ridge also runs two Bible studies: one in English and one in Spanish. We have had 38 distinct individuals at our worship meetings.$0$2,170
