Mercy Home for Boys & Girls
Mercy Home for Boys & Girls has been a solution for kids in crisis since 1887. Through its full-time residential, aftercare and community-based mentoring programs, Mercy Home provides nurturing, guidance and opportunity to more than 650 hurting and troubled young women and men in the Chicago area every year.
At the core of Mercy Home’s mission is its full-time, residential program, which provides a safe and stable home for 134 young people, ages 11 to 21. Young people who have suffered abuse, neglect, poverty and even abandonment receive life-changing therapeutic, academic and vocational support at Mercy Home.
A program of aftercare offers these young people continued connection to their Mercy Home family and gives them access to a host of support services after they have transitioned to living outside of the Home—regardless of age or time away. In addition, Mercy Home’s Friends First mentoring program matches at-risk youth who live out in the wider community with much-needed adult role models.
Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is a not-for-profit agency that operates on two Chicago campuses – a home for boys at 1140 W. Jackson Blvd. and a home for girls at 11600 S. Longwood Dr.

Fellowship Connection, Inc. is a nonprofit organization located in the heart of Paseo Boricua, the center of Puerto Rican culture in the city of Chicago. Since 1990, we have been working with children, youth, and adults of the Humboldt Park and nearby communities.
Our scope of services includes addressing issues that are affecting them as a whole; from gang related problems, a high-percentage of deaths related to gun violence, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse, high drop-out rates among other problems. Fellowship Connection(FC) has outstripped socioeconomic barriers through the provision of youth and adult prevention services, out of school time programs, and technical training in communications and performing arts. Our mission is to consistently provide children/youth and their families with high quality services that sustain, support, and enhance their ability to thrive.
“We help break socioeconomic barriers through the provision of youth and adult prevention services.”
Fellowship Connection provides both advocacy and direct services to families in need. FC works closely with neighboring agencies, schools, private and governmental funders to ensure that necessary services are provided without duplicative or redundant service delivery.
Fellowship Connection’s Sustainable Model for Families provides continuity of care for each family member and reaches out to schools, neighborhood agencies, public funders, law enforcement, and social service providers to engage in a holistic plan for each family member. We use innovative, measurable outcomes to address systemic problems like street violence, failure in academic learning, parenting shortfalls, lack of work, and anger management.
The Carpenter’s House
The Carpenter’s House was planted on March 23, 2003. We are a church with a heart to help people find their way home to God. We believe that every aspect of your life (spiritual, emotional, physical, and family) can be transformed by the power of the Great Carpenter.
At the Carpenter’s House you will find an atmosphere of exaltation and transformation, an environment of acceptance and restoration and relevant and encouraging Word. We believe that laboring in the formation of ministry is essential. It is our desire to assist the body of believers in achieving their greatest potential for Christ through the discovery and development of their spiritual gifts in a variety of efficient ministries. When we incorporate everyone in the work, the church is strengthened and the name of the Lord is glorified.

Reverend Jorge Morales founded San Lucas Church in 1976. The church’s original founding members was composed of thirty Christian conscious men and women, who were raised in the Humboldt Park community, and sought a Christian remedy to the ills of poverty and deprivation faced by the community at large. They sought to make concrete changes in the day-to-day lives of people living in the Humboldt Park and West Town community, which at that time was predominantly Puerto Rican.

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about River City Community Church and our community. River City Community Church was established in Chicago, IL in 2003. We hope that after you look through our website and attend a worship service, you will consider becoming a more active part of our growing community of faith.
Mission & Vision
The vision of River City Community Church is to become a multi-ethnic community of Jesus-followers that transforms the city of Chicago through worship, reconciliation, and neighborhood development.
Worship. Jesus taught that every human being is created to be a worshiper–they are born to live with something as their central object of affection. When that central object of affection for a man or woman is not God, it is always replaced by something else (e.g., relationships, money, job, power, etc.). Our vision at River City is to see every person have a powerful relationship with their Creator, learning to have God as the central object of their affection. We also desire for River City to be a place that people of all spiritual backgrounds can come as they are to hear the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. John 4:23-24, Exodus 20:2-5, Psalm 96.
Reconciliation. Jesus taught that humanity has been created in God’s image, but that continued disobedience in an already fallen world breaks the intended harmonious relationship between God and His people. Reconciliation is God’s desire to mend those relationships. Our vision at River City is to become a community of faith that sees each person become reconciled to God and become restorers of harmony here in Chicago across racial, class, and gender divides. 2 Corinthians 5.11-21, John 17.20-26, Revelation 7.9.
