Church of Our Saviour

About Us

Lincoln Park's Episcopal Church

COS welcomes every kind of person - teenagers and seniors, married and single, wealthy and just getting by, city dweller and suburbanite, gay and straight. One unique aspect of COS is our long and happy history of welcoming households that are raising children in the city. We are already a multi-generational community, reflecting the Lincoln Park neighborhood. COS is a traditional Episcopal Church, but one that is always sensitive to the questions and searches of individuals who need fresh answers to some of life’s oldest questions. COS has welcomed gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people for decades. If you are someone whose been around the Episcopal Church for a long time, COS will be very recognizable to you!

What to Expect

What are services like?
Each of our four services has a unique character, with different musical leadership. For early-rising traditionalists, the 7:45 spoken eucharist is the real deal. For families with young children, the 9:00 eucharist is inclusive and lively. For those who want the grand eucharist with pipe organ, incense and full choir, the 10:45 is all that and more (with a coffee hour following). And for those who like their worship quietly, deeply sacred, the 5:30 eucharist is Tradition with a Twist, re-casting the 1st century worship style for the 21st century.

What is the community like?
Our community is vibrant and diverse! Multi-generational, multi-ethnic, and inclusive for all. Eucharist is offered to anyone who'd like to receive it. Our church is alive seven days a week, with our Food for Friends ministry serving 100 meals for lunch on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. We have Youth Group, Young Adult Forums, Bible Studies, Book Clubs, mission trips, catechesis, and much more!

What if I'm not a Christian?
Please come anyway! Anyone is welcome to receive eucharist at our services, and our congregation is truly diverse. Even if you only come to hear the music (which is incredible, with three entirely different styles and leaders), you are absolutely welcome in our church.
