The Moody Church Today
During Dr. Lutzer's pastorate, the church and its ministries have grown considerably. Construction was recently completed on a three-story Christian Life Center addition to the current 1915 building, intended to provide sufficient Sunday School classroom space and accommodate new and growing ministries. A street-level entry and elevators provide better access for those with disabilities. The facility also offers subterranean parking for 21 cars and a rooftop deck for gatherings of up to 300 people.
The Church has an extensive radio ministry, with three programs broadcast nationally:
- Moody Church Hour – the Sunday morning worship service
- Running to Win – a daily 25-minute (or 15-minute in some areas) instructional program by Dr. Lutzer
- Songs in the Night – started in 1946, a 30-minute Sunday evening program combining music and a meditation by Dr. Lutzer.

Famous quotes containing the words moody, church and/or today:
“Well, something for a snowstorm to have shown
The country’s singing strength thus brought together,
That though repressed and moody with the weather
Was nonetheless there ready to be freed
And sing the wild flowers up from root and seed.”

Guthrie McCabe: Bully for the widow Gomez.

McCabe: Well, there’s some men y’a just can’t trust to stay where you put ‘em.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“In times past there were rituals of passage that conducted a boy into manhood, where other men passed along the wisdom and responsibilities that needed to be shared. But today we have no rituals. We are not conducted into manhood; we simply find ourselves there.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
