First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights has one 9:30 a.m. Sunday service, available in its sanctuary and online. The hybrid service combines traditional and contemporary music with reflection, connection, and preaching intended to carry God's love into the wider world. Children begin in worship for “Wild Time” and then move to age-based formation. Nursery care serves birth through age two, while other year-round classes extend through seventh grade. The building has a wheelchair-accessible front entrance, elevators, hearing-assistance devices, a sanctuary hearing loop, and gender-neutral single-use restrooms.

Children's ministry uses Bible stories, play, music, art, games, discussion, and crafts to help different ages explore faith. A midweek family program adds small groups, choirs, worship arts, cooking, sports, dance, and a shared meal. Night OWLS provides a monthly recreational setting where children with disabilities receive an adult buddy and siblings have programming too. The congregation's “Loving Boldly” approach to mission supports vulnerable neighbors through rotating local partners, including housing, health, immigrant-justice, and family-service organizations. Its facilities also host appropriate community gatherings. For a first visit, families can check in before 9:30 and expect children to start alongside adults; people with mobility or hearing needs can plan around the accessibility features described on the official about page.
