Founded in 2001 by Pastor Peter Hong and a small group of believers, New Community Covenant Church is today a vibrant and growing urban, multiethnic church located just a block off of the historic Logan Boulevard in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. In the founding and development of the church, Pastor Peter and the first members asked some key questions that continue to form us:

• Can we be a church where people from all walks of life are valued, while encouraging each other to live ever more Christ-like lives?
• Can we be a church that models reconciliation and forgiveness as Christ did?
• What would happen if a generation of believers gathered across racial, social, and cultural differences for one common purpose: To seek the heart of God and build relationships to impact Chicago and the world?
• Can we be a church that reflects and boldly proclaims the good news of the Kingdom of God in our broken and sinful world?

We want people to know that God’s desire for them is not to embrace religion, but to embrace intimate communion with Christ and with others. We believe God made us to be in a loving community, encouraging each other, and serving our neighbors.

Made up of peoples from an array of racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, we seek to faithfully celebrate the diversity in the body of Christ. We also know that sin is at work in the world and we denounce systemic and individual sin as we imperfectly, but actively work to be justice-seekers and radically advance the cause of Jesus. That is the Gospel call.
