Our present pastor is John Hudson. He has been pastor for 30 years. He graduated from Yale Divinity School and was ordained in 1961. Our worship leader is Susan Hudson, pastor John's wife.
The church was established on June 20th of 1905 to serve the rapidly expanding Chicago metropolis. The church building was constructed in 1908. A garden setting, which continues to the present, was developed by Pastor Benjamin Will in 1934. The building experienced a major fire in 1947. A Fellowship Hall was added in 1958. As Edgewater became multicultural and multiracial in the 1980s the church responded with open doors that have welcomed an increasingly diverse gathering of persons seeking the presence of God. Our church has a membership about 100. Attendance averages around 40 at the 10 a.m. service. We are part of the world wide United Methodist movement with over 400 churches and ministries in Northern Illinois and in mission across the nation and around the globe. If you decide to come, you will be warmly welcomed and get to know people who will share with you in your faith journey. |
