Jesus People is a brand that originated in 1972 when a group of young Christian hippies settled in Chicago with the mission of courageously spreading the gospel. They began by living together communally, first in the basement of a local church before acquiring their own property. Throughout the years, Jesus People has taken on various forms to fulfill their purpose.

They made a significant impact through their impactful music, with Resurrection Band leading the charge as pioneers of Christian hard rock. Another notable contribution was Cornerstone Magazine, a fearless publication that delved into the intersection of faith and culture from 1971 to 2003. The brand also hosted Cornerstone Festival, a beloved Christian music festival that attracted up to 20,000 attendees each summer for 29 years.

Additionally, they established Cornerstone Community Outreach, originally a humble shelter in their dining room, which has since grown to become one of the largest shelters for the homeless in Chicago. As their focus shifted to local efforts, they started investing in Cornerstone Community Outreach, Wilson Abbey (a center for faith, art, and events), and caring for the community.
