Mission & Vision
Our Mission

Seeking to glorify God by developing His people in godliness, we are an intergenerational church family, and a supporting, loving community. We exist to bring people into living relationship with Jesus Christ. We provide ministries for:

Dynamic worship of God
Vigorous study of His Word
Loving care for one another
Commitment to His work in our community and throughout the world
Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ




Our Goals

As members of the First Presbyterian Church of Downers Grove, we confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and believe him to be the Son of God who reconciled us to God through his death and resurrection.

As a response to his sacrifice and love we believe our church's mission is to:

Exalt God through corporate and individual prayer and worship.
Express love and concern for each other as members of the body of Christ
Strengthen the faith and commitment of each member through teaching and preaching in our homes and church
Witness, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to those in our community and throughout the world who have not yet accepted Christ as Savior and Lord
Serve in the name, love and power of Christ those with physical, emotional, social or spiritual needs
