Our Story

Good News Bible Church is an Evangelical Free Church in the Humboldt Park/Logan Square community of Chicago. An urban community of believers, GNBC is made up of people of all ages and from all walks of life. Pastor Wayne Gropp was the Senior Pastor who shepherded the people of Good News Bible Church since its inception in September 1979 until September 2009. GNBC is presently searching for its next Senior Pastor. GNBC meets for worship in the historic facilities once populated by the Salem Evangelical Free Church, birthplace of TEAM Missions, and is one of two congregations that make up this church (the other congregation is the Spanish-speaking Iglesia Evangélica Libre Salem.) On June 3, 2003, Good News completed a merger with the existing English-speaking congregation.
