Basic History
This organization produces 30 Good Minutes, a television program dealing with issues of spirituality, faith and religion.

The name of this group dates back to 1908, when its founders were looking for something to call the weekly ecumenical service they sponsored in Chicago's Orchestra Hall. It was in Chicago, it was on a Sunday Evening and they didn't want it to sound too "churchy," so they called it a Club. There were no memberships or dues, so everyone could be included.

Today, the Chicago Sunday Evening Club is America's premiere television broadcast for great preaching. Each program features a different speaker, drawn from a wide spectrum of denominations and faith traditions. Over 1,000 speakers have appeared on the program since those earliest gatherings at the beginning of the century. 30 Good Minutes is seen on Chicago's WTTW/Channel 11.

Basic Beliefs
The Mission of the Chicago Sunday Evening Club is to positively influence people's spiritual, moral and religious lives through television and through other media. It strives to maintain its historic Christian faith in dialogue with and openness to other faith traditions, cooperates in ministry with like minded organizations, encourages spirituality in the business and professional community and maintains a strong financial base through careful stewardship.
