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!

But really, who…

The Feast of Mary, Mother of Our Lord

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Vicar Sarah Freyermuth August 16, 2026 It’s so good to be back with all of you today as we celebrate the Feast of Mary, Mother of Our Lord. And we all know that feast days are fun, right? Because they give Pastor Jason an excuse to break out the incense! But I think that sometimes the Gospel stories we hear for feast days can feel a little out of step with the rest of what we’ve…
