Apply to ITC — Ignite Thriving Churches

Apply

Ready for your church to be part of the ITC process? Use this form to apply. This form should be completed by the senior pastor, who will serve as the key contact for the ITC process.

Any Christian Church in Chicagoland is eligible for Ignite Thriving Churches, but we have limited capacity each year. The program is provided at no cost to your church because of a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment. We do ask that you carefully read our expectations for what it means to participate in ITC; click here to learn what you can expect from us and what we expect from participant churches.
