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 wrapping up 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.

Your support will ensure historic architecture and community engagement will continue for generations to come!

Scripture tells us that Jesus healed her, but it does not tell us she was a prostitute. Scripture tells us she was…

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Vicar Sarah Freyermuth July 12, 2026 Have you ever read one of Jesus’ parables and thought, “ugh, why can’t he just tell us what this is supposed to mean?” Well today might seem to be our lucky day, because in the second half of our Gospel, Jesus goes on to do just that. He turns the parable of the sower into a neat allegory, explaining exactly how each different type of soil describes a different type…
