Celebrating Advent and Christmas
We invite you to join us in worship for our Advent journey as we travel from the Festival of Advent Lessons and Music, which began our season on December 1, to the Longest Night to Bach’s Magnificat with choir and orchestra to Candlelight Christmas Eve. Pause to reflect with Advent devotions and Rhythm and Word videos. Read more

If we’re streaming it, you can click here to view it! Whether it’s worship on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. or our Friday Noonday Concerts, if we’re streaming it, you can watch it live (including from the beginning even if you join a stream in progress). Also viewable on our YouTube channel are our “Rhythm and Word” video series and adult education recordings.
Christmas with Tower Brass
A memorable December tradition, the annual “Christmas with Tower Brass” concert features the wonderful music of the season, from classics to jazz arrangements to favorite Christmas carols! This year’s concert, which will be held on Saturday, December 21 at 5:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, will also be livestreamed.
Sharing Christmas Joy
Whether it is by filling Christmas wishes for Chicago Lights Tutoring students — by donating gift cards or contributing to the purchase of books — or by supporting those in need through a gift to Light Up a Life, each opportunity shares the joy of Christmas. This year our Light Up a Life gifts will support the work of Fourth Church, Chicago Lights, and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.
Honoring Loved Ones at Christmas
Each year we are invited to recognize those who are special in our life by making contributions toward the purchase of Christmas flowers and wreaths to decorate the Sanctuary. The names of those honored or remembered by the gifts are printed in the Christmas bulletin. Contributions can be made online and must be received by December 8 in order for names to be included in the bulletin.
Pastor Nominating Committee Update
The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) has posted the Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) with the Presbyterian Church (USA), outlining what we are looking for in our next pastor. To recommend possible candidates, share what you hope the PNC will consider in the search and discernment process, or ask questions, email the PNC. You can watch the their November update to the congregation here.
A welcoming, serving community, reflecting the inclusive love of God
If you are new to Fourth Church, or are searching for new ways to connect with this congregation, we are glad you have found us here—and invite you to be with us on Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue, where we come together in community as Fourth Presbyterian Church.
Inspired by the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ, we welcome everyone, without exception, into the life of this congregation. Come join us at the intersection of faith and life as we share God’s grace with one another and the world through worship, preaching, education, and ministries of healing, reconciliation, and justice.
