Lampstand Ministries

Our Mission

Lampstand is an inner city Christian ministry that spreads the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the West Side of Chicago. This big goal can only be accomplished by working together so we act as a bridge that connects outreach minded people with people in need. We endeavor to multiply our impact by partnering with other ministries in order to reach a maximum number of people.

We seek to connect those who live in the suburbs with their urban neighbors. We encourage various Christian denominations to serve together. We connect a variety of urban ministries so that they can help each other reach more people. We strive to see people with different ethnic backgrounds to work together to serve people in need on the West Side of Chicago.

We find ways for everyone to participate by implementing a variety of different outreach methods including but not limited to:

Street Evangelism
Service Projects
Feeding Programs
Clothing Distribution
Urban Farming

Entrepreneurial Guidance and Investment
Sports Play and Coaching
Tutoring and Mentoring

Three Main Goals

1

We strive to reach out with God's love to the unreached-people that most people try to stay away from and that are unlikely to walk into a church or mission.

2

We desire to help our ministry partners on the West Side of Chicago do what God has called them to do to the best of their ability.

3

Most importantly, we desire to reach the lost for Christ by sharing the Gospel through word and deed.

Our Ministries

There are four aspects to Lampstand Ministries: food distribution, service projects, mentoring and consulting. Working hand-in-hand with other Christian resources in Chicago, Lampstand Ministries provides educational opportunities, support groups and retreats, job-placement services, mission trips and service projects for other outreach organizations looking to support people in need on the streets of Chicago.
