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.

The Celebration of Lost and Found/ Luke 15:3-7
•
Pastor Mark Bergin
All of creation is a celebration. The trees wave their arms. The rivers rush to gather. The foxes run. The bees dance. The birds sing. It is as it should be, a festival in honor of the Creator, borne of his beauty. A spectacle of color and sound and divine flourish. Yet, there is a greater celebration still, one where light shines even brighter. It is the celebration of lost and found. For as much as the Maker of all things delights in the splendor of his worlds, he delights far more when the sorrow of broken things comes untrue. At his heart, God is more than a creator. He is a redeemer. And our stories of redemption are his glory.
