Worship at 10 a.m.
Join us in-person or online!
On behalf of the people of Grace, we welcome you in the name of Christ!
Grace is a community of men, women, youth and children who celebrate God’s love for us by extending that love to others. Our life is centered in worship in which we hear God’s word and celebrate Christ’s presence with us in Holy Communion. Our life extends beyond the walls of the church as we engage in ministry among poor and marginalized people close to home, across Chicagoland, or across the world. We have a special place for young children and their families, as they engage in the challenges of raising children in 21st Century America.
Together, we strive to live out our church’s motto: “God’s work. Our hands.”
WELCOME PASTOR BEN
We are excited to welcome Pastor Ben Sloss as the new pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Mount Prospect! Pastor Ben's first Sunday with us will be August 2, and we look forward to the many ways he will bless our congregation and community.
Most recently, Pastor Ben served as associate pastor at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Naperville. Prior to that, he served as associate pastor for youth and family ministries at Grace Lutheran Church in La Grange. He earned his Master of Divinity from Trinity Lutheran Seminary and has also served at Trinity English Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and St. Paul Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio.
Pastor Ben and his wife, Tracie, are the proud parents of Ethan and twins Grace and Lily. They live in Downers Grove, and Pastor Ben enjoys hiking, yoga, playing the piano and ukulele, and exploring new technology in his free time.
With extensive experience supporting ministry with young people and families, Pastor Ben is passionate about working collaboratively with staff and volunteers to bring new ideas to life while nurturing faith across all generations.
Please join us in extending a warm Grace Lutheran welcome to Pastor Ben and his family. We are grateful that God has called Pastor Ben to Grace Lutheran and are excited to see how God will work through his leadership as we begin this new chapter together.

We are a people with a mission, sent by God to our neighborhood, community and all the world.
Every church member is a minister - a servant of Jesus Christ.
Prayer transforms lives and strengthens the church.
Families of every kind are a blessing from God and should be fully included in the life of the church.
Developing the faith of our children and youth is the responsibility of every member.
Grace Church is called to grow - not just in numbers, but in the depth of our faith in Jesus Christ.
God is generous and good and we find joy in sharing our blessings with others.
