Gladstone Park Lutheran Church
  Gladstone Park Lutheran Church was organized on April 13, 1936 as a member of the United Lutheran Church in America. In February 1939, after the original portable schoolhouse building was destroyed by fire, a local funeral parlor at 5810 W. Higgins, now the Parish Hall, was used as the worship facility. A new building was quickly constructed, with dedication held on April 16, 1939. From 1939 to 1960 the congregation was located at 5928 W. Foster at Mason, and after 1960 it was located at 6200 W. Foster.

In 1998 Gladstone Park merged with Holy Communion (1966, LCA), Medill Avenue (1927, NLCA), Nebo (1901, Augustana), Our Lord's American (1934, ALC), Our Saviour's English (1909, United Norwegian), Peace (1923, ULCA), and St. Andrew (1924, ULCA) to form United in Faith Lutheran Church.
