What inspired the name “The Painted Door”? Here at The Painted Door Church in Chicago, the answer is painted across the very fabric of its identity. The Painted Door Church takes its name from the Exodus story. In this story, God spared those who painted their doorposts with lamb’s blood. This act symbolized protection and redemption. The church sees a parallel between this Old Testament story and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They view Jesus as the ultimate lamb, whose sacrifice offers salvation. The Painted Door Church is a relatively young congregation, active between 2018 and 2020. During that time, they built a community and shared their message through podcasts. In fact, they produced an impressive 204 episodes. The Painted Door Church aims to connect people to God and to each other. They strive to create a space where everyone feels welcomed and part of a larger story of redemption. They believe Jesus’ sacrifice reconnects us to God and to one another. They also believe it invites us to participate in the divine work of restoring the world.
