Charles & Donna Butler
In October of 2019, the Lord laid on the hearts of Pastor Charles Butler, his wife Donna, and Pastor Steve Mason and his wife Kerri, to begin a congregation in the city center of Chicago. Both the Masons and the Butlers made Chicago their home for well over 30 years and have a deep love for this city. While the Masons have now gone on to pastor at a church in Winnetka, the Butlers continue to serve and lead Hope Church. Hope Church is in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood, a few blocks south and west of the Medical District, and minutes from I-290 and I-94. This is a burgeoning area comprising multiethnic, socioeconomic, and generational diversity.
Their goal is to develop a church where God’s people are nourished and equipped by in-depth preaching of God’s Word and engaging worship, and then are faithful witnesses of Christ as they move through the city.
