Welcome to First Presbyterian

REACHING UP. REACHING OUT. REACHING YOU.

Inviting! That’s the first word of our mission statement and where everything begins.

The people of The First Presbyterian Church of La Grange, IL (FPCLG) are dedicated to an ever-expanding circle that welcomes all, regardless of gender identity, social background, ethnicity, race or spiritual history. Our desire is to invite and welcome all who seek the presence of Christ in faith, fellowship, learning and care. 

  • Our Communion table is open to anyone, regardless of religious tradition or spiritual condition;

  • The sacrament of baptism welcomes infants, children and adults celebrating God’s ongoing call through Christ’s invitation to know God’s love as God’s own children;

  • Our Confirmation program includes youth from our own church and from the community who explore the decision to affirm their faith in Christ;

  • The celebration of marriage is open to all who seek to seal their covenant-promise as life partners in the company of a faith community honoring their love and life;

  • Our fellowship, music and educational programs are open to all who seek to enrich their spirituality through friendship, creativity, imagination and community.

Presbyterians believe in service to the whole community, not just their own members. We also believe that spirituality without service is incomplete. Jesus taught that the love of God is made real when shared as love of neighbor. So, for the love of God, we seek to touch others with dignity, fairness, welcome and compassion. Through the Mission and Outreach page of this website, you can see how those principles are expressed through programs; but if you join us in worship, you will discover the heart of the Gospel. 

Come visit us on Sundays at 10 a.m.

We’re having a great time being Christ’s church in a Presbyterian fashion right here in La Grange, and we may just be your next community of faith. 

If you have questions, email me at jkrogh@fpclg.org or stop by on Sundays—I should be there. 

Grace and Peace, 
Jonathan B. Krogh, Pastor
