monday night live

Every first and third Monday of the month at 7:00pm, you’re invited to join Crosstown Chicago for Monday Night Live (MNL) - a powerful evening of inspiring worship, practical biblical teaching, and real-life transformation you won't want to miss. This dynamic in-person experience is designed to recharge your faith, build community around God's Word, and equip you to live out your faith.

There's no live stream, no replay - just real encounters with God and real connections with people, all happening live in the room. It’s designed to be a safe space to grow in grace. So whether you're new to faith or looking to go deeper, this is your invitation to show up as you are, lean in, and be part of what God is doing.

You’re invited to join us for our next Monday Night Live gathering!

Before we launch our weekly Sunday morning worship services on September 7, we IGNITE.

We’re gathering the Crosstown family — and some of our friends across the city — for a city-shaking rally night on Monday, August 18, at our new home, Whitney Young High School. We’re coming together to ask God to light a fresh fire in our hearts for Jesus, His people, and our city as we prepare for the mission ahead. This will be a powerful evening of celebration, connection, and commissioning that you absolutely won’t want to miss. Whether you’re already a part of Crosstown or just exploring, this night is for you!

God’s about to do something new in our city, and you can be a part of it. We’re going up! We’re getting ready to IGNITE!

When you arrive, expect a warm welcome from friendly faces. We can’t wait to meet you! Here are answers to some questions you might have as you plan your visit to Crosstown Chicago:

  • Free on-site parking is available in the surface parking lots adjacent to the school building (accessible via Van Buren and Laflin Streets).

  • Yes! Our worship services are easily accessed via public transit:

    • 🚇 CTA Blue Line (1/2 block northwest of Racine St. station)

    • 🚍  CTA #9 Ashland Ave. bus (one block east of Jackson Blvd. stop)

  • Whether coming straight from work, school, home, or play, you should feel comfortable coming to Crosstown dressed for your day.

  • You’re invited to sit together as a family during our gatherings. Even though a full Crosstown Kids ministry is in the works, we have a special moment for families during every gathering.

  • We love welcoming our first-time friends! We promise not to embarrass or put you on the spot. We also promise to show you some Crosstown love. Our pastor would love to greet you with a hug or a handshake before you go!
