Jesus People USA (JPUSA) is a Christian community in the inner city of Chicago. We operate both as an intentional Christian community and as a worshiping church. The 500 people who live together at a single address on Chicago's north side hold all goods and property in a common fund, looking to the model of Christian community depicted in the New Testament (Acts 2:44---47, 4:32---35). Living communally and pooling our resources in this way have enabled us to minister to one another and those outside the community in ways that might not have been otherwise possible. The outreach of the community is local, national, and international. Locally, JPUSA is best known for its social-service ministries, which include a transitional shelter for homeless families, a soup kitchen, a senior citizens' residence, and a women's warming center. _Cornerstone_ is our journal of culture, arts, politics, and faith. The annual Cornerstone Music and Arts Festival gathers 20,000+ young Christians for five days of camping, concerts, and seminars. JPUSA's many and varied musical groups have made an impact worldwide. We have been privileged to function as a resource to the church, a haven for people in need, a learning experience for many whose journey has taken them in our doors and out to serve elsewhere.
