About Us
Our church is a vibrant community that celebrates the rich heritage of South Indian Christian values while embracing the diversity of our members. We offer worship services in both Malayalam and English, ensuring that everyone feels connected and spiritually nourished.
This congregation was formed by members who migrated from Kerala and neighboring states in India, settling in the Chicagoland area. United by a shared heritage and faith, they established the CSI community in Chicago to support one another and uphold traditional Christian values while growing together spiritually. At CSI Christ Church of Chicago, we strive to:
- Worship Together: Through meaningful services, hymns, and prayers that honor our traditions.
- Serve the Community: By engaging in charity, outreach, and acts of kindness to support those in need.
- Grow in Faith: Offering Bible studies, ministry groups, and opportunities for spiritual growth.
Leadership Team
The leadership team at CSI Christ Church of Chicago is devoted to guiding our congregation with faith, wisdom, and a commitment to service. Rooted in the traditions of the Church of South India, our team works tirelessly to foster spiritual growth, strengthen community bonds, and uphold the values of love and fellowship.
Our leaders bring a wealth of experience and a shared vision to inspire and unite the church family. They oversee worship services, ministry groups, outreach programs, and events, ensuring that every member feels supported and connected. Through prayerful planning and compassionate leadership, the team helps the church thrive as a welcoming and vibrant faith community.
