Welcome

Founded in 1875, FCCW is perhaps the oldest church in the village of Wilmette. We’re actually part of the United Church of Christ – which is a denomination that was formed in 1957 as a merger of historic Protestant denominations: the Congregational Christian churches and the Evangelical and Reformed churches. Like all congregational churches, we’re independently guided by our congregation.

It’s a church for all people, run by people. What’s not to like?

We are accepting of all religious backgrounds, even those who have doubts or don’t believe.

FCCW is known in the community for our civic engagement.

We helped found the Raven Foundation, focused on peacemaking and nonviolence.

We have fun: golfing, fantasy football leagues, book group and more!

We’ve supported and welcomed the LGBTQ community for more than three decades.
