House of Hope - Chicago                                                                                                                   

The House of Hope is a vision of the Salem Baptist Church of Chicago.

It began in the heart of the Senior Pastor, Rev. Senator James T. Meeks.  As Salem had then grown to over 10,000 members, and continued to grow, additional space was desperately needed to continue the vision.

Always burdened by a passion to create a ministry that extends beyond the walls of the Church, Rev. Meeks' desire was to create a facility that would not only be used for worship on Sundays and Wednesdays, but that it would also bless the community and the City of Chicago by providing a quality family oriented entertainment facility.

The House of Hope has played host to many celebrated artists, groups and events, which included:

The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle, featuring Patti LaBelle also starring Yolanda Adams, Mary Mary and Shirley Caesar

An Evening with Donnie McClurkin and CeCe Winans
