Since 2024, we’ve partnered with Steve and Kristin Coble who are planting Refuge Church in the Humbolt Park neighborhood of Chicago. Refuge is a multiethnic community of people who have been so changed by God’s love through the gospel of Jesus Christ that we want to grow deeper into that love and become people of love, so that we can share that love in Chicago and to the ends of the earth.
