The Local Outreach Ministry of The Moody Church seeks to equip our congregation to reach out to our surrounding communities in different means and at various levels. We work to reach the lost ones of the world alongside our partner organizations and through our own ministries, including the Psalm 9:9 Homeless Ministry, Good News Jail Ministry, our Moody Business Network Luncheons, and our Chicago Marathon Cheering Section.

Leadership: Pastor Larry McCarthy, Jr.

Opportunities To Get Involved

The Psalm 9:9 Homeless Ministry ministry reaches out to the homeless in Chicago by providing food and clothing to anyone in need.  Volunteers serve  every fourth Saturday at the Thompson Center (Clark and Randolph) distributing food, toiletries, clothing, and Bibles to as many as 150 homeless.

Freedom Sisters Ministry
Saturdays 12:00–1:30pm

Each Saturday women from our church hold Bible studies in the women’s section of Cook County Jail. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, please contact Mary Lowman. Also consider being a prayer partner and receiving prayer requests from the inmates each week!

Ministry to Cook County Jail/Courthouse Officers and Civilian Staff

Men and women are needed to act as chaplains to the 5,800 officers and 1,700 civilian staff serving at the Cook County Jail (27th & California) and county courthouses (Bridgeport, Loop, Markham, Maywood, Rolling Meadows, Skokie). Chaplains work solo, initiating contact with on-duty staff to offer encouragement. Volunteers serve one or more days each week, as many hours as they wish. This is not specifically an evangelistic opportunity, but one which can lead to openings to share the gospel as you show Christ’s love to the staff. Begin the application process by contacting Linda and Pastor Larry at the info below.

This annual October event allows The Moody Church to support the 45,000 runners participating in the Chicago Marathon and to reach out to the surrounding community, inviting them to join us for a fun morning full of music, food, and fellowship. Donuts, coffee, cow bells, and noisemakers are always provided, and the TMC Community with the most representation wins a pizza party later in the fall!
