About us

Chicago Christian Resident Physicians (CCRP) is a fellowship and organization made primarily for the support of Christian resident physicians in Chicago.

For many if not most physicians, residency is the most challenging part of our training. And yet, until now, there have been practically no resources that exist solely for resident support.

We exist to change this. Our goals are to foster friendship, mentorship, and connection for Christian resident physicians throughout the city of Chicago and beyond.

Two are better than one (Ecclesiastes 4:9), and the Christian life is meant to be lived in community, inside and outside the four walls of the church.

Through our content and our programs, we seek to raise a generation of Christian resident physicians (and attending physicians) who will contribute to the healing work of the Great Physician, Jesus Christ, throughout our city, our country and our world.

Our core values

Friendship

To foster friendship between Christian resident physicians in Chicago and to provide support during this unique time in all of our lives.

Connection

To connect Christian resident physicians with Christian organizations who are doing the good work of the Gospel in the city of Chicago and beyond.

Mentorship

To provide Christian mentorship for resident physicians in the city.

Strengthening

Gospel

Ultimately, to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Chicago and to reclaim healthcare for its original purpose — as a God-given profession, made to heal the people and the nations.

Statement of faith

We believe in the eternal God, revealed in Holy Scripture as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, whose death and resurrection provide by grace through faith the only means of our salvation.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, whose transforming presence and power enables us to live the Christian life.

We believe in the divine inspiration and final authority of the Bible as the eternal Word of God.
