We hold weekly worship services at 10am on Sundays on the Illinois Tech campus in the historic Carr Memorial Chapel, affectionately known as the Godbox, which was designed by the renowned architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
Our weekly worship service is free for anyone to come and join. During service, we sing hymns and modern worship music, and we pray for both ourselves as a congregation and for God's work all around the world.
At the beginning of the month, we share communion where we remember the shedding of Jesus' blood and the breaking of his body through drinking the juice and eating the bread.
The strongest point of our worship is the focus on God's word in the Bible. Each week, a message is delivered that is based on the word of God from the Bible, holding to a specific passage.
Our most recently posted and most popular sermons are below or you can visit our sermons page to browse our past messages.
The first words of the first chapter of the Bible open with a powerful, foundational truth: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This shows that God exists and he is eternal. We learn that God is Spirit, and through his creation we can witness his infinite power and wisdom, and be encouraged and inspired by his infinite goodness and holiness.
A Gentile woman responds to Jesus' apparent rejection, owning up to being a dog and asking Jesus for just a crumb of His grace. Jesus did not reject nor insult her, but taught her who He was. When she realized it, He granted her request, and lifted her up from under the table to at the table as a child of God.
King Solomon was abundantly blessed by God, but over time his heart was led astray by his hundreds of wives, and he began to follow their gods too. An idolatrous heart is like a cheating heart, and God in his anger would tear the kingdom away from Solomon. Yet out of his mercy he allowed Solomon to rule over 1 tribe, that one day a Savior king would come. God is angry with the wicked every day, but he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bring us into his eternal kingdom.
Jesus calls his first disciples, who were fishermen. To follow Jesus has a cost, requires learning from him, and obeying him, but the reward is becoming fishers of people, drawing them out of the darkness and into the light, into healing, wholeness and life by casting out the net of the gospel.
When we experience God for who he is and what he has done for us, we can’t help but sing with joy and celebrate. This passage gives us insight into God's message through his servant Isaiah to the people stuck in exile.
Every Sunday at 10am, we have worship on campus in the Godbox, just to the north of Illinois Tech’s McCormick Student Village. We would love to have you worship with us.
