St Paul Lutheran Church is a place of worship in central Skokie. The towering cathedral has been a part of Skokie for decades, and many local Lutherans worship here. The congregation is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, and, as Lutherans, a great deal of focus is put on sacraments such as communion and the sharing of the peace.
St. Paul Lutheran Academy, which offers courses for students in kindergarten through 8th-grade, was founded in 1881. It also runs a preschool for children ages 3 and up. Visit its Web site for an enrollment application.
St. Timothy's Lutheran Church can trace its history to 1951. Fueled by a surge of growth in post-WWII Skokie, what began as a small neighborhood church became a bigger neighborhood church. These days, it calls itself a small church with a big heart.
As an Evangelical Lutheran church, a tight-knit congregation is a big focus, as well as communion and the sharing of the peace.
