Pullman CRC
| The late 60s early 70s was a time of turmoil for the Southside neighborhoods of Chicago. Within a few short years the entire racial and social economic makeup of these neighborhoods changed. The Pullman/Roseland neighborhood was no exception. With the changing of the neighborhoods came changes within the church. Four large CRC churches, despite a few members pleas, left Pullman. The rundown Gospel Missions building along with its small congregation who refused to abandon their neighborhood was all that was left in the once heavily Christian Reformed neighborhood of Pullman. |

Over thirty years later this small congregation, now known as Pullman Christian Reformed Church, is a strong thriving multi-cultural worshiping community. Pullman CRC has recently reestablished their commitment to the Pullman neighborhood and has gone through Asset Based Community Development training in order to enhance Gods Kingdom in Pullman. They are in the beginning stages of adopting a school and starting listening conversations with their neighbors.

| Pullman CRCs love and commitment for the Pullman neighborhood has not wavered since they answered Gods call to stay in the community over thirty years ago. The decades of relationships and ministries built by Pullman CRC coupled with their commitment to Asset Based Community Development and their open hearts to follow where God leads it is clear that the transforming power of Gods Kingdom is at work in the Pullman neighborhood of Chicago! |
