"A Place for All" Campaign

Wicker Park Lutheran Church has 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 with multiple grants and numerous individual donors. Your support will ensure historic architecture and community engagement will continue for generations to come!

So, we set out on the 2.5-mile boardwalk above the swamp (thank God) and went to find alligators, turtles, air plants,…
