A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville. Our prayer is that you will find a spiritual home here; a home where the love and presence of Jesus Christ are experienced as we gather in community to worship God. We worship together, in-person and online, every Sunday at 10 a.m., seeking to focus our hearts and minds on God's Word. I can be contacted by clicking here!

OUR MINISTRIES

WORKING TOWARD A BETTER GOAL

ADULTS

Growing in faith is a lifelong process, evolving as we experience more life, as we face more challenges, as we see more evidence of God's mercy, grace, and love. We offer a variety of ways to live and grow in faithful community with one another.

 CHILDREN

Children are always learning, absorbing, and sorting what they've taken in. Our Christian education programs are designed to offer them foundations of faith in ways that invite questions and make connections as they create and build their relationships with God and one another. To help bring their faith beyond the walls of the church, we offer a variety of ways for families to incorporate discussions on faith into their daily lives.

YOUTH

Our youth programs are shaped to walk with 6th-12th grade students as they grow, learn, and connect in community with one another, with our larger church community, with the world, and with God.

COMMUNITY

Faith, fellowship and service intertwine as we seek to live as disciples of Christ.

SERVE

Know God, grow in faith, go into the world equipped to serve.

MUSIC

Experience the joy of singing and performing music that glorifies God. Our music programs are for all ages from preschool to adult.
