About First Presbyterian Church Of Lake Forest

The First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest was, literally, the first in Lake Forest, founded in 1859 by a group from the Second Presbyterian Church in Chicago. We have long striven to uphold the church founders' ideals of living and working as community dedicated to a Christian life, and to betterment on Earth through education and benevolences. Education was and continues to be an integral part of the life of the church community. In addition to our Sunday School and childcare services, we also offer ongoing adult education groups and seminars. Music, too, has been vital to the worship life of the church from the beginning. Early services included a volunteer choir accompanied by a hand-blown organ. Now, in addition to our Casavant organ, we feature 10 different adult, youth, and children's choral groups, with opportunities available to instrumental and vocal soloists as well. From the earliest days of the church, ?systematic contributions? were encouraged with particular Sundays designated for major benevolences. Today, many of our events are coordinated by the Presbyterian Women, and the members of our Chicago, Nation, and World Committees are active throughout the county and larger community, in many ministries that have direct effect on those served. In 2009, we celebrate our 150th year. We invite all to join us in service! Please visit our website, or call or visit our church, to learn more about Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest.
