Join Us On The Journey
We are not a church or an institution.
We are people who have encountered God’s welcome and are being made whole through God’s expansive love. We create space just as God has created space for us. If you desire to know God’s radical welcome or to join us on a journey toward wholeness, you are so welcome here. You are invited to Come As You Are, Encounter the Holy, Be Renewed.
We believe everyone is created in the image of God. We embrace the diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity and its expression, religious background, age, range of abilities, racial and cultural identity or background, and educational and socioeconomic status.

A JCOC Board Announcement
With deep gratitude we announce that after many years of faithful service, Eva will be retiring from her role as Executive Director this spring.
From those initial gatherings 10 years ago, Eva has embodied the spirit and values of the Journey Center of Chicago—the Way of Hospitality, Silence, Contemplation, Discernment, Mission, and Love. She has been a steady, compassionate presence, listening deeply, welcoming warmly, and leading us with courage and care. Through her vision and heart, the Journey Center of Chicago has become a place of healing, renewal, and spiritual connection for so many.
We are so grateful to Eva for listening to that nudging of the Spirit many years ago and having the faith to move from vision to reality. It has been our privilege to be on this journey with Eva learning from her wisdom and compassion every step of the way. We will miss Eva’s leadership and guidance dearly, but we know her spirit, vision, and legacy are woven into the very fabric of who we are as an organization. Click here to read Eva’s letter.
In the coming weeks, the Board of Directors will share more about the exciting future ahead for the Journey Center. As we move forward together, we hold fast to the values that brought us here under Eva’s leadership.
Please join us in giving God thanks for Eva as we celebrate her leadership of the Journey Center of Chicago!
With love and deep appreciation,
Board of Directors
