About Us

3:16 Chicago was created to carry a message bigger than clothing.

Everything we do comes back to John 3:16. That verse is the reason this movement exists. We want people in Chicago to know the love of Jesus in a real and personal way, not just as words on a page but as something they can see, wear, and talk about.

What started as a simple vision for evangelism has turned into something you can wear in your everyday life. Each piece is made to start conversations, represent faith in a real way, and remind people that they are loved by God.

From shirts and hoodies to totes and everyday essentials, this is clothing made for the city. You’ll see it in schools, on the streets, in churches, and in everyday moments where conversations naturally happen. The goal is not just to wear something meaningful, but to live it out and point people back to the gospel.

3:16 Chicago is connected to the heart of the Maranatha USA community, and it exists to encourage believers to be bold in their faith, to love people well, and to share Jesus without hesitation.

Every item carries a purpose. It is an invitation to bring the message of Jesus into real life in Chicago.

Wear the message. Share the message. Love the city.
