Grand old church in the middle of Chicago. Visited whilst on a road trip across the USA by 2 Aussies in 2019

I've never been here myself and I'm not a religious person either but this building, it's wonderful organist John Sherer and the beautiful organ that is built into it have been featured in one of my favorite YouTube videos to date. If I were to ever come to Chicago, this definitely would be one of the first places I would visit.

Beautiful and historical building. It’s amazing how you step into the courtyard and feel peace. Even though you are so close to the busy road. Wish we could’ve gone inside but we were a little too late. Great place to just stop by and see while in the area.

Full disclosure: I am not a Christian and tend to be wary of religious organizations and churches. Fourth Presbyterian gives every indication of being a compassionate, humane, life-affirming church who are trying to follow the path of Jesus. An absolutely beautiful and spacious church building, demonstrating a tasteful and unique blend of classical and contemporary architecture, as well as a wonderful art gallery which is currently showing art by Indigenous Columbians of the rainforest. They also have a range of social services for homeless and poor adults and youth. The front desk staff and other workers are friendly and helpful. I can't wait to visit again.

This is such a gorgeous place. Historic and beautiful, it has architectural details that will thrill the eye. The organ and its pipes fill the sanctuary with an amazing sound in the right hands. We got to sing there as members of the Apollo Chorus of Chicago in our spring concert this year. We had not one, but two exceptional organists to play, and when singing with an organ, it fills the soul. I hope you get to see it soon!
