Here's Life Inner City is the compassionate urban ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. Their mission is to serve and empower the local church to live out God's heart for the poor. Nearly 20 cities throughout the U.S. currently have active teams serving in them.
The Chicago team officially began in 1979. In the years since, they have seen much growth in our team as well as in the opportunities for us to serve the city. We are based out of the Roseland community on the southside, though our efforts reach across the entire city. God has continued to faithfully raise up individuals that have a heart for the poor to both support and serve in this ministry.
The Lord has also provided a building in the heart of Roseland to serve as their ministry's “home base” of operations. A local businessman donated the former stair factory to us in 1976. As the ministry began to outgrow the space, the decision was made to build the new Agape Center, which was completed in 1995. Their facilities now include office space, a gymnasium, a full kitchen, several multipurpose rooms, a garage, and a computer lab. Their Here's Life Inner City team shares the building with a plant church, New Hope Fellowship, that is also committed to reaching out to the Roseland community with the love of Christ.
The Chicago Metro Campus Ministry and Here’s Life Inner City Chicago are proud partner once again for Urban Immersion.
