The church's liturgical year begins with the First Sunday of Advent (Nov 27). Advent is a time of preparation and joyful waiting for the coming of the Lord. We celebrate Christ's first coming as a child in a manger; we prepare our hearts for Christ's coming into our lives this season; and we look forward with hope to Christ's coming at the end of time. There are many opportunities to prepare, wait, and celebrate this season at WPC!

OUTREACH

Making a Difference in the World

During this time of uncertainty, we are continuing to work with our mission partners in caring for those most vulnerable. You may drop off donations for many of these organizations in the boxes outside the church office doors. Below are just a few of the organizations we partner with here at WPC.

CHILDREN

Encouraging Kids to Know & Follow Jesus

We make promises at every child’s baptism: to support parents in raising their child in the life of Christian faith so they may come to know, love and serve Jesus. At WPC, we help provide families with the tools for a spiritual and biblical foundation as they guide their children in a life-long journey of faith.

Sunday School

Sundays @ 10am
We have Sunday School classes for K-6th grade each Sunday. Families stay together in worship until after the scripture reading. At that time, children are dismissed to their age-appropriate classes.

Service Projects

We seek out hands-on mission projects for the children to actually do and have success in accomplishment. Children learn by doing and knowing why Christians serve and help people near and far. ​

YOUTH

The Church of Now!

We believe gathering together in spiritual community offers today’s young people something unique: a loving, caring and safe place to think about God, wrestle with their faith, and see how their story intersects with God’s story and hope for this world.

Youth Group

Open to all youth grades 7-12.

Making a Difference

We provide a variety of ways for youth to live out their faith in the world today. From service projects around Chicago, to week-long mission trips around the country, to international immersion mission trips, we have a history of service being an integral component of the faith journeys of our young people.

ADULTS

Being Transformed by Renewing Our Minds

We welcome the chance to gather together for times of education and formation in all its forms: Bible studies, lectures, presentations, discussions, book clubs, and small groups. We have something for everyone at WPC. From the monthly book club to the weekly men's group to the occasional knitting circle, we've got you covered!
