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 Story of Person Making/ Ezekiel 36:24-36
•
Pastor Mark Bergin
God made all things by speaking them into existence. Yet when he set out to make persons, ones stamped in his own image, his voice only began the story. God formed humanity from the dust and then began to mold us into the fullness of life. He introduced drama and choice and conflict. And when we wandered into death, he introduced curse and pain and promise. In all these things, God invited his image bearers to step toward fullness, to realize the true capacity that he had planted in humanity. And finally, one man did.
