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.

One Spirit, One Body/ 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

Pastor Mark Bergin
To become a Christian is to become a body part of Jesus. All people who put their faith in Christ become hands and feet and ears and eyes of his spiritual body. That means that everything happening in our lives is also happening in the life of Christ. And in the lives of one another. We are all connected. So we suffer together and rejoice together. And we need each other. Hands have no purpose if they are disconnected from arms. They are lifeless and without strength. But when each part is connected to the whole, the body begins to function beautifully and full life is known. We were made to live this way, to be connected to each other, to share one Spirit and one body.
