About
Description
Sunshine Gospel Ministries, based in Chicago, IL, has been a prominent presence in some of the city's most challenging communities for over 100 years. Throughout its history, the organization has persevered through pandemics, racial tensions, urban renewal, and numerous iterations of its ministry. Although many things have changed over the years, three core principles have remained constant: sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, seeking the peace of the city (Shalom), and serving under-resourced communities in Chicago.
Originally known as The Moody Mission when founded in 1905, Sunshine Gospel Ministries has a rich history of serving single mothers in poverty. Over time, their focus shifted to youth outreach, and they became known as Sunshine Gospel Mission. They ran a camp called Sun-Chi-Win and were affectionately called Chicago's Musical Mission for their hymn and chorus writing.
In the 1960s and 70s, the organization faced displacement due to urban renewal, leading them to relocate to Cabrini Green and eventually change their name to Sunshine Gospel Ministries. They have continued to prioritize youth outreach, operating programs throughout the year and providing summer camps. To sustain their mission, Sunshine Gospel Ministries sold their camp property and acquired a building in Woodlawn.
They utilize this space for apartments, youth outreach programs, and office space. Additionally, the organization launched the BridgeBuilders program to invite outside groups for service-learning opportunities in the community. Overall, Sunshine Gospel Ministries remains committed to their mission of impacting lives by sharing the Gospel, fostering community, and uplifting under-resourced communities in Chicago
