Monument Moment
A Historic Landmark
NEWS UPDATE
Greater Tabernacle Cathedral was recently highlighted on FOX 32 Chicago’s Monument Moment, a segment that showcases significant historic and cultural landmarks
throughout the city.
The feature recognized our church not only as a house of worship, but as a historic architectural treasure with deep roots in Chicago’s story. The building was designed by renowned Pullman architect Solon Spencer Beman, whose work helped shape some of the most notable structures in the Pullman community.
The coverage also acknowledged the church’s historical ties to Barack Obama, who began his community organizing work in the Roseland area — further connecting the legacy of our church to a broader narrative of faith, community development, and civic transformation.
FEATURED SERMON
What happens when success begins to change you?
In this opening lesson of Crowns & Consequences: When Power Meets Character, Dr. Eric L. Booker explores
King Uzziah’s rise and fall in 2 Chronicles 26:1–21.
Uzziah’s story reminds us that success can test our character just as much as struggle. Whether our crown is a position, promotion, relationship, or ministry, the question remains: Can our character carry what our gifts have helped us achieve?
The crown may change your position, but character determines what happens next.
"Don't underestimate what one worship service can do.
One word from God can change the direction of your entire life."
-Dr. Eric L. Booker
