Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord! The COVID pandemic hindered our ability to truly celebrate our 100th Church Anniversary in 2021. However, we’re preparing for a grand celebration of God’s faithfulness on Friday, October 11, 2024, during our 103rd Church Anniversary Gala. Our theme, “See What the Lord Has Done”, focuses on the extraordinary ministry and miracles that God has birthed through this congregation. The gala will take place at the Chateau Del Mar (8301 95th Street, Hickory Hills, IL) at 7pm. Our special musical guest is the amazing singer/songwriter, Terisa Griffin.
Over these 100+ years, God has allowed us to positively impact our community and to serve as a ministry model for Black Methodism across the country. Carter Temple has mentored future bishops, pastors, educational and community leaders and more. We’ve also provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and community aid, including Impact Grants to families during the pandemic. As we continue to make a difference in Chatham and beyond, we’d love your support to further our mission.
As we prepare for our 103rd Anniversary in October, here’s how you can support: become a sponsor, purchase a gala ticket/table or an advertisement for our digital ad book.
