Opportunity to Join the Community

 

The Community of the Holy Trinity has an opening for a single or couple who would be interested in joining our community currently made up of 5 members: 1 couple and 3 singles (we have cats).  We are a house of the ecumenical religious order, the Order of Jesus Christ, Reconciler (the order has members in Milwaukee and Detroit, and a second house in Detroit); two of our current members are professed of the order. Our daily life together consists of daily prayer (currently focused on prayer in the evening) meals together on weekdays, and a breakfast and community meeting on Saturday mornings. We don’t have a common purse, but pool resources based on the ability of each member to contribute to pay for rent, utilities, food, and other shared expenses. Members are encouraged to participate in a local Christian congregation or parish of their choosing or denominational affiliation. We are looking for baptized Christians who feel lead to communal life as a way to deepen their Christian faith and following of Jesus Christ.

We are currently located in the Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago, in a first floor apartment duplex down with 5 bedrooms, 3 on the first floor, two on the garden floor.  The available room is a small suite with a walk in closet attached to a private full bath on the first floor. The apartment has two kitchens, one on each floor.  On the first floor, there’s a dining room, living room, chapel, sunroom and shared bathroom; on the garden floor, there’s a shared bathroom, shared office, a library, and shared art/music studio. There is only street parking available to the community.  Most of our members use public transportation and bicycles for transportation. We are close to various public transportation options: two blocks from the Kedzie stop on the Brown line, and three blocks from the 82 Kimball/Homan Bus line, two blocks from the 79 Montrose bus line, and 4 blocks from the 81 Lawrence Bus line.

We live under a shared rule of life. You can find the rule here.
