COVID-19 UPDATE

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our state's guidelines, our building is closed at the moment.
The building might be closed, but the church is alive and active!
Much of our congregational life is virtual at the moment.
We are worshipping together, studying together, meeting together, and even drinking coffee together virtually!

FIRST SUNDAY WORSHIP IN THE PARKING LOT!
May 2 and June 6 @ 10:30am

Beginning with our Easter Sunday worship, we will be gathering on the First Sunday of the month in our parking lot for a brief time of worship. The service will include Holy Communion (safely distributed), along with music from our soloists. We ask that you register if you plan on attending. 

ALL ARE WELCOME ... REALLY!

No matter where you come from, how much money you make, what you look like, what you dream about, or whom you love, you are welcome at WPC!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

TANGIBLE WAYS TO ASSIST RIGHT NOW

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. 

Our Mission Partners

These are just a few of the organizations we partner with here at WPC. Click on any of the images to learn more about what they do and how you can help. 

KIDS PROGRAMS

ENCOURAGING KIDS TO KNOW and FOLLOW CHRIST

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

We have Sunday School classes for K-5th grade each Sunday. Families stay together in worship until after the children's sermon. At that time, children are dismissed to their age-appropriate classes.

Service Opportunities

​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. Some of the organizations we support are the New Trier Food Pantry, A Just Harvest, and Kairos Prison Ministry. 

YOUTH PROGRAMS

NOT ONLY THE FUTURE ... 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 6-12.

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

This is not a church where you are asked to "check your brains at the door!" 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.

Bible Studies

Adults gather each week to reflect on the meaning of the Bible in their everyday life. 

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!

Yoga Sanctuary

Experience wholeness through meditative music, reciting simple scripture, and gently stretching and cherishing all parts of your body.

WELCOME all with open hearts
GROW in faith centered on God's Word
SHARE God's love with the world
