Our church is many things to many people and our building is an asset we share with the community. In addition to many not-for-profit groups and educational organizations we house throughout the year, we also host concerts, lectures, workshops, community meetings, and many other events.

To make arrangements for an event at HPUC, contact the Church Office at office@hpuc.org, or call 773.363.6063. Please provide your name and/or the name of your organization, telephone or other contact information, a description of the event and the number of participants you expect.
