Jesus People USA (JPUSA) pronounced: ǰ-pu-sa is a Christian intentional community[1] in Uptown, on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois.

JPUSA emerged from Jesus People Milwaukee in 1972, and maintains one of the largest continuing communities (100–450 members) produced by the Jesus movement.[2] In 1989, JPUSA joined the Evangelical Covenant Church as a member congregation, and currently has eight pastors credentialed with the ECC. The community organized the annual Cornerstone Festival from 1984 until 2012.[3]
