Calling All Tenors, Baritones and Basses

Have you ever wanted to work with an award-winning choral director?  Do you enjoy singing with an enthusiastic group of voices?  Have you ever just wanted to "try it out"?

Today is the day!  The Chancel Choir needs you.  We rehearse on Wednesday nights at 7:00pm at the church building at 643 E. Washington Street.  Come, now is the time.

   

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who supported our church at our two recent events:

  • A Journey Through the 40s - USO Show and Canteen
  • 2009 Holiday Bazaar and Luncheon

We appreciated all your support and kind words.  It was a great privilege to honor our active soldiers and veterans by sharing our talents with the community during the USO Variety Show and Canteen.  View the program (3 MB)

We always enjoy seeing so many familiar faces each year at our holiday bazaar - as well as meeting many new people and sharing a delicious meal.  Thank you for coming!

As always, if you are looking for a new church home, we hope you will visit with us on Sunday mornings.  Our service begins at 10:00am with a time of gathering starting at 9:55am.  We hope to see you there.


Our Mission

The mission of this congregation is to nurture your ongoing walk of faith through loving God, following Jesus Christ and serving others.


Community in Christ serving West Chicago, Winfield and Warrenville

Whoever you are wherever you are in your journey of faith, you are welcome in this place. We are a blended congregation:  United Methodist and Congregational.  We have been serving the communities of West Chicago, Winfield and Warrenville for over 170 years.    The First United Methodist Church was organized in 1835.  The First Congregational Church was organized in 1856.

We began worshipping together in 2004 and are covenanted together.  Our goal is to be a dual-denominational church, honoring and respecting the traditions of both denominations, and to welcome all who wish to worship with us.
