Domestic Mission Fest 2025
Life on Mission
Friday, May 2–Sunday, May 4
God is working in Chicagoland, and this year’s Domestic Mission Fest is a celebration of all He is doing through Christ Church’s mission partners in our area! We’ll explore the many ways our partners live on mission as they relieve suffering, lift women and children, multiply disciples, develop godly leaders and transform communities. We’ll also unpack what missional living could look like for you. Come and see what God wants to do in and through you!
