Name Tags at River City
We invite you to write your name & "the importance of community" on a name tag as you arrive to church in the morning. There will be a table as you walk in to grab a name tag and let folks know "the importance of community." This is in an effort to further connect as a body and make sure we know one another by name! Bonus points: introduce yourself to one person in the congregation who you've wanted to meet, but haven't had the chance to yet

• Sermon | Phil Jackson

  For over 30 years, Pastor Phil Jackson has served on the front lines of neighborhood development, violence interruption, and urban youth ministry. Pastor Phil received his Master of Divinity degree as a John Perkins scholar from Northern Theological Seminary with an emphasis in Christian Community Development. In 1993, he was called by the Lawndale Christian Community Church to serve the youth of Chicago. In the North Lawndale neighborhood, Pastor Phil planted a youth church called The House, featuring a hip-hop worship service, and eventually founded The Firehouse Community Art Center of Chicago, which offers year-round, multi-disciplinary cultural arts programming, mentorship, leadership, and workforce development centered around the prevention and interruption of violence. In 2019-2020, the Firehouse won five Chicago / Midwest Emmy Awards for the feature-length documentary film Chicago at the Crossroad. Pastor Phil has written a book and has a Sirius XM radio show. Pastor Phil and his beautiful bride, Kim, have been married since the summer of 1985. They have three fantastic adult kids and eight grandchildren. He and his Firehouse team of 26 are crazy in love with the youth and young adults they serve in North Lawndale and are seeking to awaken the hope within them every day through the arts and faith.

Midweek Bible Study
Begins: Wed, Jan 28
We are excited to start our Winter/Spring Midweek semester. This session we will focus on the spiritual disciplines we practice as people of faith. As we prepare to enter into the Lent season, it will be a great aid in helping us with our commitment to Christ. We are curious to know which spiritual discipline(s) you are most interested in learning more about. Click here to fill out a quick survey and let us know.

Midweek is open to all no matter if you’ve attended in the past or if you are a member of River City Community Church. Even if you can’t make it every week, you are more than welcome to attend. This session is designed in such a way that you will not feel as if you are coming in mid stride and need to catch up. Our purpose is to grow our faith in God and build a community of believers that will go out and make disciples. 

Come join us as we dive deeper into the scriptures. Our start date is Wednesday January 28.
Looking forward to seeing you there! - Aaron
