Who We Are

Since 1908, the Chicago Sunday Evening Club is a Christian community of Chicago area business and civic leaders dedicated to promoting the religious and moral life of the city. Currently, the Club’s primary activities are convening conversations to raise awareness of vital issues facing the Chicagoland area, and grant making to organizations that address problems through a lens of faith, or otherwise beautify and elevate our common life.

About Us

EVENTS

The Chicago Sunday Evening Club sponsors and sometimes convenes events that will gather people together working towards our mission to improve the moral and religious life of the metropolitan area.

RESOURCES

As an off-and-on media provider over the past 115 years, we understand the importance of communicating ideas; thus, we commend articles from a variety of perspectives to cultivating a deep awareness of the larger issues surrounding our local and national life.

Invest

The Chicago’s Sunday Evening Club stands on this shoulders of men and women devoted to its mission, but are grateful for contributions through direct giving or support of our events from likeminded donors.
