Lisa Laboy Mr. Ameya Pawar, On behalf of The Door Christian Center, it is with great hope that I write this letter to you. The sole purpose of writing the letter to you is to request for your approval to lease the property located at 4351 N. Western for religious assembly. My name is Carmelo Laboy. I am currently a Pastor with Christian Fellowship Ministries. My wife and I were launched out of a Bible Conference hosted by The Door Christian Center in Chandler Arizona to pioneer a church in Chicago, Illinois. What a blessing to be in this wonderful city. The name of the church is The Door Christian Center. The Church is a place to come and find transformation, meaning and refuge from a trouble-filled world. At The Door, there are many testimonies of the wonderful power of God changing hearts, lives and entire families. What we want to be most clear is that no matter who or where you are in life, you are welcomed at The Door. At The Door Christian Center, our hope is that one would grow their relationship with Jesus Christ. You will find an amazing community of real down-to-earth people that really care. When you visit, you will feel as if you already knew everyone. No veneers. Just an honest, relevant and challenging atmosphere with inspiring messages. Most importantly, who are all together finding direction from God. We currently have 10 congregants. There are two families that will drive their own vehicles to church. The other members use public transportation. Our schedule of services will be held on Sunday morning at 11:00am and 6:30pm. We will also have Wednesday evening service at 7:30pm. Our services consist of songs and worship, along with preaching the word of God. The services normally end in less than two hours.
