First Congregational Church of Wilmette

I’m New

We invite you to participate in the life of First Congregational Church, however and whenever you like. We offer a variety of programs and events throughout the year, along with our ongoing children’s programs, youth programs and Sunday worship. We hope you will feel free to participate at a level at which you are comfortable.

Location
First Congregational Church is located just north of the heart of downtown Wilmette, at the intersection of Lake St., 11th St. and Wilmette Ave.

Entrance
Our main entrance on weekdays is the glass doorway on Wilmette Ave. There is a buzzer to the left of the door to ring for entrance into the building. This is also our handicap-accessible entrance. On Sundays, two additional entrances are open: the main entrance at the back of the Sanctuary at the intersection of 11th, Wilmette and Lake, and through the doorway into our education wing on 11th St.

Inquirers’ Classes are held twice a year to explore life at First Congregational, along with our history and core beliefs. The class is a prerequisite for membership, but all are welcome whether or not they are presently considering membership.
