The first public school and first Head Start programs in the region were started in its buildings. Early members of the church included Chicago's first pharmacist and Chicago's first public school teacher, as well as the founders of the first regional abolitionist society.The church building is a Gothic Revival cathedral built at 6400 S Kimbark Ave in 1927.
