Full disclosure: I am not a Christian and tend to be wary of religious organizations and churches. Fourth Presbyterian gives every indication of being a compassionate, humane, life-affirming church who are trying to follow the path of Jesus. An absolutely beautiful and spacious church building, demonstrating a tasteful and unique blend of classical and contemporary architecture, as well as a wonderful art gallery which is currently showing art by Indigenous Columbians of the rainforest. They also have a range of social services for homeless and poor adults and youth. The front desk staff and other workers are friendly and helpful. I cant wait to visit again.

This is such a gorgeous place. Historic and beautiful, it has architectural details that will thrill the eye. The organ and its pipes fill the sanctuary with an amazing sound in the right hands. We got to sing there as members of the Apollo Chorus of Chicago in our spring concert this year. We had not one, but two exceptional organists to play, and when singing with an organ, it fills the soul. I hope you get to see it soon!

Stunning architecture, peaceful retreat from the noisy, busy streets of Chicago. Beautiful place to meet Jesus. Even if its after hours, explore a little. If people are there, they might let you come in. Be respectful and it might be one of the unexpected treasures you encounter while in Chicago. It was for us.

Such a beautiful and intentional worship space. Its very welcoming and inviting and nestled in the heart of the busy Michigan Avenue shopping community. Even on a Thursday night I was able to find the Holy as I listened to the choir rehearsing. I look forward to coming back for a full service.

A truly welcoming oasis and sanctuary in the midst of the busy Mag Mile. A wonderful community of people trying to serve God by serving their city, as well as a beautiful space that’s often host to wonderful musical concerts and other events. Social services center, nursery school, senior citizens center, home of an amazing tutoring program... welcome “home.”

Beautiful church, lovely service, amazing staff. Great location in the heart of Chicago.

The church is beautiful and a great venue for musical performances, in this case, Chicago a Capella. Wonderful singers who project how much they enjoy performing. Could have used more lively Christmas music this time even though everything was beautiful.

Great fourth Sunday in Advent service. Lovely staff. Good cookies. Very informative tour after the service!

Quiet place to reflect and meditate.

Call about the food pantry before going there. I was told by a lady there are walk in between 9-11am but they also go by appointment and stated I can walk in this morning 1/7/2020. I get there and the young lady at the pantry desk was saying I needed an appointment. I stated I called a few minutes ago and was told to walk ins are ok. I stated I came because I had no food in my house. “I have no openings today but I can schedule for another day” she said without making eye contact. “I work the rest of the week” I said. No response or anything!!! Very rude!!

Amazing architecture! Perfect place for a concert.

A great community Church right off the Magnificent Mile. A historic Chicago building with both a classic and modern touch.

They have a Fair trade Bazaar the first weekend in December. Church is beautiful, members provide tours and church history.

Great place of worship.

Theres a Sunday Dinner served from 4:30pm to 6pm all are welcomed, be advised... homeless individuals are the primary targets, security is in attendance.

My mom and dad were married here 69 years ago

Fourth Presbyterian Church is located between 900 North Michigan Shops and the Water Tower Shops on the Michigan Avenue Magnificent Mile. It is a magnificent architecturally visual design, both inside and out. Take time while you shop to spend in the wishing well garden. It will settle and focus you away from the hussle of retail shopping.Inside you will find a very large church with glorious stained glass windows, a wonderful loggia, pane glass windows, a large choir area located behind the ministry. Look up towards ornate wooden carved angels carrying their instruments. Services offer guest speakers, and food for thought. There are plenty of comfortable pues.Take time to look at the art gallery, large community room, and large selection of many functions the Church offers to the community. There is heavy volunteering organized by various divisions in the church; food kitchen for the poor, free clothes, and groceries. As in controlled by all churches, these services are offered by your home zip code. The zip code for the church is 60610. Also, you may participate in prayer groups, womens or mens groups, and yoga or exercise classes for a small fee. The church also has a reach out international program. These are to name a few.Sermons are well written and offer something for everyone of any denomination. After a service, take a stroll to an in house library to expand your experience. There are several free concerts in the church or chapel.Handicapped accessable. Paid parking in the area.

Not only is a lovely church to look at and be in, but the surrounding complex they attached to it gives you all the modern convieniences. Bathrooms, meeting rooms, a chapel, a seminary, and this too is lovingly designed, though n a modern style. Be sure to catch the model of the place up on the second floor of the sweeping staircase. Bathrooms on first and second floor with an elevator in between. If near the model, peek out the window. On a good day, or night, you will see the lights at the very tip top of the old John Hancock building (875 N. Michigan Ave.). For those with an EV Tesla or like me, a Leaf, free charging is available at the 900 N. Michigan parking building. Free for rhe first 4 hours. Of course, the rates are up there. In 2020 it was $27 for the first hour and I got out of there with a $37 bill. But it was nice to park close by and get charged up for the long ride home.

Offers more than you can see from the outside and beyond the small courtyard.At the back side, they also built a modern wing attached to the old church. Very cool.

God is so good. This Church gave me more than I expected. Ill recommend God first and Forth Presbyterian second lol. Good Bless you all!

Every Sunday night they have a meal. During the week in the morning they have drop in social services. Very welcoming church.

This photo is on a windy Sunday afternoon . Worth a visit for insta post

Loved the service and history tour they had available afterwards. Very interesting!

Its a wonderful and fantastic place yo go. Id like to go again if I had a chance.

Went to a Chanticleer concert there. The seating arrangements could be better but the sanctuarys sonic properties are awesome for a capella performance.

Chicago is a bustling city with a lot of day to day noise. Somehow once you enter this church, all these sounds disappear and you are surrounded by quietness allowing you to relax and reflect.Church is quite small, and if you are already on Magnificent Mile, it is worth paying a visit.

I love seeing people praying at such beautiful place.

Beautiful building, meaningful services, wonderful church to attend when visiting Chicago on a Sunday morning

Very good place whether you are needy or wealthy you will be satisfied at this place one way or another.

Gorgeous church. Love seeing Andrew Bird here.

The place was very positive and the atmosphere was calm enough. I feel good after visiting here.Perfect place for worship.

A beautiful church. I went to a wonderful children Christmas service.

Nice architecture here!

Great place to see a concert. Amazing acoustic s!

A beautiful place to go and meditate. They offer many activities for retirees and people who want to improve themselves.

Really beautiful. What more can you say?

Few of the places that can you feel God’s presence because they are authentic, warm and welcoming. I have visited this place a couple of times with my family and I hope to visit more often.

Architecture is amazing. Civic orchestra on Bach...superb.

Great for viewing the decorative stained glass and enormous chapel. Plus there is a maze that you can try and solve, three days a week you can volunteer to serve people who are in need lunch.

The Church Is Very Beautiful.The Acoustics are Amazing.

A historic church amidst a bustling city. Step inside and reflect upon the history and charm of this welcoming respite.

Pretty Church lot of homeless sleep there.

Beautiful cathedral like sanctuary and modern chapel: congregation of around 6,000. Works to be a light in the city to all.

Beautiful! They have a labyrinth for prayer walking.

My first but not the last... although I was just visiting, you could sense the community and depth of koinonia. Im used to a more contemporary and casual worship but the structure and preaching spoke deeply at this church.

Lovely peaceful space from the busyness Michigan Ave.

Great people and nice sit down bag lunch

Loved its peaceful and beautiful courtyard.

Bacause of third party interfering some whom mayhap been operating inside the church. I was unfairly targeted. They still have some of the blame on them.

Nice architecture, such a nice people will help you know about the Churchs history.

Very peaceful and beautiful place, in front of the world famous John Hancock building and the magnificent mile, a few blocks from the beach

Beautiful place, its great they let some people in the building

Very respectable ppl. For help with various services.

Beautiful church! They keep their doors open and you can look around as you wish, and they have all sorts of classes and a day school.

Wow great beautiful old church people and service was very moving

Beautiful church. Great sermon. Best to get there about 30 minutes early for the Easter service.

Very beautiful architecture style, little hidden gem within Chicago’s skyscrapers. Small and worth the visit to worship.

Fantastic event space! Clean, spacious, nice decor. Easy to find.

One of the most beautiful and well preserved churches Ive seen. It was such a privilege to get to see the inside as well as the outside. Makes me so happy to see it so well taken care of!

It is a nice church in the heart of Chicago... It looks old but beautiful... There is a garden beside it that contains a water fountain... It is peaceful inside... I think some shots of the movie runaway bride of Julia Roberts were taken there... It is something to be seen in Chicago

Beautiful christmas night

Wonderful church and inviting people.

The Fourth Presbyterian Church was built in 1912 and the ivy that covers its forehead makes it particularly pretty.

Wonderful architecture. Worth a step inside to see all the woodwork.

Serving all Gods people in the heart of Chicago.

Every Sunday Have excellent jazz at four Service moved upstairs nowalso many Community programs

Beautiful church and great acoustics! Ask about the parking voucher for 900 Michigan so you dont have to pay full parking office!

Awesome services, liturgically AND musically. We always come when were in Chicago (from Virginia).

Beautiful church and accommodating.

They serve the best food for the homeless, its not shelter, but they offer services for the poor and showers to keep you clean

Staff her have always been the best.

Warm, welcoming congregation. Good music program. Engaged with community.

Beautiful church, great social services

Great Programming for the poor.

Quite and safe place to send a child for summer camp.

God works and lives in the hearts of the church and staff members here.

This church was great. it is well kept and not dirty. it is easily accessible from public transportation and worth the stop. i unexpectedly stumbled upon it and was pleasantly surprised

Monday through Friday they have services to help you with clothes food and housing and on Sunday at 4 they let you in at 5 they said your next meal and theyre great people

Our place to worship when in Chicago and were not even Presbyterian. Convenient parking in John Hancock Center offered for worshippers.

A place Of great givings

The best place to meet lifelong friends VERY best teachers teaching older folks how much there is to do every day

Enjoy the time very welcoming environment

Good venue for concert.

Beautiful church building, excellent concerts every Friday at 12:10pm, but if youre looking for solid biblical teaching, Id recommend looking elsewhere. This location is surely a great tourist spot, though, so i definitely recommend stopping by. They have artwork all the way down the halls and take very good care of their church building.

Magnificent on the Magnificent Mile.

Old-fashioned religion

Beautiful inside and out

Beautiful church! They are extremely nice in there and answer any questions the random traveler has. Added bonus: live jazz music every Thursday. A very relaxed environment.

Its a nice church I only go there when they have bag lunches on Tuesdays.

Great place to duck into, and connect with, the Big-Guy-in-the-Sky! ( Especially, in a city of sky-scrapers!)

Its not exactly a church, its the offices of the archdiocese. No longer a school here either. However, the chapel still functional and open Saturday mornings to the public, with what must be the most beautiful stained glass in the midwest. The acoustics here are incredible too. Saw an a capella sacred music group here and it was ethereal.

Must to see in Chicago!

Personal and warm.

Rude security and lack of respect and social skills

Pastor Shannon is an amazing speaker and excellent messages every week

Amazing place and very well organize for the graduation ceremony

Beautiful sanctuary. Visit annually for Chanticleer concert.

Most beautiful church in Chicago. I love the contrast as there’s a huge commercial district on Michigan Ave then this gothic looking cathedral.

Great Church Community to volenteer with !
