The Painted Door Church - Chicago
The Painted Door Church is church family that gathers in Chicago, IL. We are a people who share the same story; we are sinner, saved by grace. We draw our name from the Exodus account in the Hebrew Scriptures, when God spared his people from judgement, passing over all homes that had the blood of a spotless lamb painted across their doorways. Jesus is the new spotless lamb, his death on a Roman cross sparing the people of God from judgment once for all. He reconnects us to our Maker and to each other and invites us to participate in his grand work of restoring all things.

Why are you a Christian? Family? Duty? Fear? Dunno? The answer to this question can either lead to an increase in faith or an increase in doubt. Faith grows from the inside out. Doubt turns you inside out. The Christian life is a life of self and Christ in process, and you're surrounded by a bunch of people going through the same thing. There’s nothing better that we can do for the whole than know and love our Lord Jesus. To be most loving to others, you need to forget all others, even yourself, and know only Christ. Your faith is not your project. Your doubt is not your project. Your life is not your project. Surrender to the call of Christ. Admit you are a Christian. Submit to the people He has appointed you to. Run into eternity with Him.
