"First United, you have loved these children well. You have taught them that they are needed at Christ’s table for the feast to be complete. You have given them the gift of belonging, and it will serve them well their whole lives through."

"March for Our Lives"

John 12:12-19

What’s Happening

First United is celebrating 100 years with our "Building for the Ages." Throughout 2018, we will honor our church's history. Click on the links below to learn how "Our Walls Tell Our Story" in photos and artwork. In June, a panel will revisit how First United members led the fight in the 1960s and 1970s for open housing in Oak Park. In September, we will celebrate on the lawn with a Centennial Birthday Party with games and music for the whole family. And don't miss our all-church talent showcase in November!
