Welcome to the First Presbyterian Church of Evanston!
We are a vibrant family of faith located on Chicago’s North Shore. Our faith journey is focused on becoming disciples of Jesus Christ who impact Evanston, Northwestern, Chicago, and the world.
"Loving. Serving. Transforming lives for Christ."
Please join us for our Worship Service at 9:15 a.m., featuring the choir and praise band. Sunday School will be offered for all ages from 10:30 a.m., followed by a time for fellowship for everyone at 11:30 a.m. in Roy Hall (2nd flr).
This Winter and Spring, we will be studying I Corinthians in our sermon series "Real Church." We are learning through Paul's letter to the Church at Corinth, a real church grappling with real problems.
Why study a church with problems? Here's why:
1. Reading Paul keeps us from thinking that the early church was perfect, or that the 21st century church has unique problems. He does not sugar coat the problems of the church.
2. Some of the most important NT Christological teachings are found here. Whenever the church loses its way it is often caused by a diminished view of Christ.
3. Paul's optimism about the future of this church is infectious.
4. Paul speaks the truth in love. We all need to learn how to do this well. Truth must never be sacrificed in the name of tolerance.
5. What does it mean to be faithful to Christ in a pagan culture like Corinth? Paul gives some important clues for our time!
