We welcome students to Holy Trinity from all over the city of Chicago. Chicago is comprised of more than 500,000 students, including 50,000 within 1.5 miles of downtown. Holy Trinity draws undergraduate and graduate students from U of C, UIC, DePaul, Roosevelt, MBI, Art Institute and other colleges and universities across the city.
Our main ministry to University students comes in four main ways:
Sunday Service – Join us for the preaching of God’s word and the worship of Christ. You’ll hear the Bible clearly explained and get to know others who are studying in the city.
Community Groups – Our discipleship happens primarily in smaller settings. If you are interested in more information on a Community Group, click here.
Service - We'd love to have you serve through Hope for Chicago (serving the needy of the city) or in our church as well. Click here to find out more.
Reading One-to-One – If you are interested in exploring the Bible with someone else One-to-One, email Tom Whittaker ().
Hyde Park University Ministry
Holy Trinity Church's roots were first laid in Hyde Park, and for that reason much of our university ministry happens at the University of Chicago. HTC's South Side university ministry consists of three primary components: Sunday evening meals, campus lectures, and the Redemption of Reason Conference.
Sunday Evening Meals
On the majority of Sunday evenings, following the
Campus Lectures
Text and Truth is a weekly faculty speaker series concerned with the relation between the Christian faith and the various academic disciplines. The intent of the Text and Truth is to promote academic learning and scholarship informed by the perspective of Christian faith. If you'd like to attend, click here for the current schedule, or contact Tom Whittaker for details ().
Redemption of Reason
Redemption of Reason is a venture established to encourage work on the integration of Christian faith with the academic enterprise at the University of Chicago. The focal point of this project is a yearly conference that typically takes place in November. Speakers at this conference have included Nicholas Wolterstorff, J. Richard Middleton, Alvin Plantinga, George Marsden, Cornelius Plantinga and Dallas Willard.
Science and Faith in Conversation
Join us for ongoing dialogue in our Science and Faith in Conversation series, a two year special program funded by the Scientists in Congregation program. We will feature lectures and dialogues with scientists and scholars who are working on this issue from a variety of perspectives, thereby helping us all understand the implications for the community of Faith.
