Moody Church Dedication Program - Intro
What is now known as Moody Memorial Church of Chicago grew out of a Sunday S
chool class for street kids started by D. L. Moody before the Civil War.
It was organized as a church in 1864 and had a variety of buildings
(including one destroyed in the Chicago fire) before moving into a builiding
on Chicago Avenue in 1873. The congregation, now know as the Chicago Avenue
Church, stayed there for several decades until they outgrew the building. In
1924, building of a new church began on a site at the corner of North and
Clark Street. Work was completed in 1925. The building was dedicated on
November 8, 1925. For eighty years, the church has continued in the same
building. It is has alway been not only a Chicago landmark, but an
influencial instituions in the American Protestant Fundamentalist and
Evangelical movements.
