Overview

Mission

Mosaic house ministries is a place where people gather to experience god through biblical teaching, fellowship, eating together, and prayer, and then go from that place to participate in god's work in our community. These movements of gathering and going are facilitated by a group of christians who live together as a beloved community in the mosaic house.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mosaic house and hub programs - in addition to mosaic house, mosaic house ministries renovated the former historic north chicago public library into a transformational gathring place to share life and fellowship together. The mosaic hub honors the historic building's legacy with interactive displays, artistic expressions and historic materials. The mosaic hub is a place where all members of the community can gather and take part in activities such as youth development, creative arts, worship and prayer.

Operating model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and expenses are high relative to revenue.
