Join the Friends of the TCP Weekly
A relational partnership connecting your work to over 3,000 pastors and church leaders across Chicago
The TCP Weekly is a weekly Substack publication of The Chicago Partnership, reaching more than 3,000 pastors, church leaders, and ministry practitioners across Chicago each week.
For over five years, it has served as a trusted source for local church events, news, resources, jobs, and stories that strengthen gospel work and solidarity across our city.
We are inviting a small group of aligned organizations to join us as Friends of the TCP Weekly, a relational partnership opportunity for organizations we trust and are glad to recommend to our network.
Consistent Visibility,
Meaningful Connection
As a Friend of the TCP Weekly, your organization will be consistently visible to a highly engaged audience of local leaders throughout the year. Each weekly newsletter will include a featured Friends section with your logo and link, creating steady, ongoing awareness across approximately 52 issues.
In addition, each partner will have two opportunities over the course of the year for a more intentional spotlight within the newsletter. While we regularly share opportunities from across the city, these highlights provide dedicated space to more fully introduce your organization, elevate key initiatives, and help our readers better understand and engage with your work.
The annual partnership investment is $5,000. We are currently receiving applications with the goal of launching this new format on June 1, 2026. Partnerships will be renewed on an annual basis, with enrollment available throughout the year as space allows.
