Sundays

The heart of our spiritual life together is experienced each Sunday morning at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Our choir, is a vital part of our service, offering anthems and songs that help to carry the theme of the day. John Erickson, our gifted pianist, brings his own special  talent to each service with beautifully interpreted music that is both reflective and inspiring. Our service is informal and has included drama and the use of video as we strive to bring the interpretation of scripture to our congregation in creative and unique ways.  Following our service, join us for Coffee Hour, held at the rear of the Sanctuary.

Our service was reviewed in 2000 by "The Mystery Worshiper" website.

We have also been mentioned in the New City newspaper, published in Chicago.  The last review from New City was April 20, 2001;

"A smallish, nondescript white-shingled church stands at the northwest corner of Broadway and Addison.  Don't underestimate it.  Inside the sanctuary, the just-refurbished interior, with its Carolina blue walls, oak-toned beams and blond floors sends forth a message of good cheer, tradition and sincerity.  Pastor Joy Douglas Strome's sermons are relevant to the Bible readings, nicely nuanced and analytical without being dry.  The acoustics are so bright that microphones aren't necessary.  In a denomination whose members are often stereotyped as distant and WASP-y this observer was treated warmly and introduced around on his first visit.  This is how churches grow and thrive.  Lake View Presbyterian has an enviable transportation situation, too:  it stands adjacent to the Broadway, Addison, and Halsted bus lines, is walking distance to the CTA Red Line (Addison/Wrigley Field station), and has the use of a free private parking lot right next door."

  First Friday of Each Month

At 7:30 p.m. on the first Friday of each month, we offer a Taizé worship service. Taizé is a style of worship that comes from a community in Taizé, France and features both meditation and chant-like music in a candlelight setting.  Participants agree that this form of worship is often the highlight of their month and is an inspirational way to get reconnected to God after a long work week.
