our church

Membership Info

All persons who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are welcome into membership
at First Presbyterian Church.

People join the church at a variety of times in their lives and in a variety of situations. Some
join out of the joy of a new-found faith, some come because they sense a renewed need for
God in their lives, and some transfer from other churches.

Twice a year we hold Inquirers Classes to help people learn more about the church and to
explore joining. Typically, the course meets three times to cover the following subjects:

  The Christian Faith: What does it mean to be a Christian, and how can we grow in our walk
with the Lord? In this section we study issues of faith and discipleship.
  The Presbyterian Church (USA): Who are we, and what do we believe? In this class we look
at the history and structure of our denomination.
  First Presbyterian Church of Downers Grove: Who are we as a local church? In this final
class we look at our local mission and program, exploring what our church can offer you, and where you can become involved in the worship, fellowship, and service life of the church.

Please call the church office for dates and to sign up for the next available class.
