One Community, Two Ways:
We are a sometimes spontaneous, occasionally mobile, often adventurous, Chicago church whose schedule can change from time to time. The best way to stay in the loop is to sign up for our weekly email.
All Together Church
Our affectionate tweak of an old-time Sunday service where we gather as a whole community. You'll hear some music (everything from folk hymns, gospel, soul, covers of our favorite band, check out our spotify playlist) and thoughtful words about what all this spiritual stuff might mean. There’ll be a nice mix of prayer and communion as well.
First and Third Sundays of Each Month

Little Branches
All Together Church
Little Branches is the name of our flock of babies, toddlers, and young children. This is all quite new to us at the moment, and we are in the process of experimenting and figuring out what children’s programming looks like at a church as unorthodox as ours.
We are holding a Little Branches service before our regular All Together Church gathering. On the third Sunday of each month, families can arrive at 10:35am for songs, activities, and rituals that bring Root + Branch’s ethos of curiosity, questioning, and care to the young masses.
Welcome Tables
Welcome Tables are church in its most basic form: community, conversation, prayer, and sacred space over a meal. Since the very beginnings of Root + Branch, Welcome Tables — or dinner church as it's often called— have been a way for this community to share life together.
A new season of Welcome Tables arrives, but with a little twist. We’ll be doing a mini-season (just two gatherings) for Advent. This will be a time to eat together, reflect on our hopes and dreams, and light a candle or four to bring light as winter’s dark rolls in.
