Welcome to Wicker Park Lutheran Church

Sundays – 10 a.m.

"A Place for All" Campaign

We have been at the corner of Hoyne & LeMoyne since 1879. The current building dates from 1906 and presents limitations to how the community can gather. We are embarking on a $1.4 million+ campaign to address these limitations.

This phase will better (1) welcome diversity with an elevator and ADA-accessible, gender-neutral bathrooms, (2) preserve and restore our historic architecture, and (3) enhance community spaces.

We’re well on our way to hitting the goal. and our support will ensure historic architecture and community engagement will continue for generations to come!

Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed, alleluia! Except… as our Gospel reading begins, it kind of feels like someone should have told the disciples that. I mean, Mary Magdalene has already come to them, rejoicing and declaring “I have seen the Lord!” They…

Easter Sunday

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Rev. Jason S. Glombicki April 5, 2026 We hear Matthew’s version of the resurrection this morning, and Matthew tells it a little differently. Do you recall why the women went to the tomb? In Luke and Mark, they brought spices to care for Jesus’ dead body. But, Matthew simply says: they went to see the tomb. That’s it. Not to fix anything and not to finish the burial. They weren’t expecting a resurrection. And then—an earthquake.…
