First Congregational Church of Naperville (UCC)

About this church

First Congregational Church, a United Church of Christ congregation in downtown Naperville, worships on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., in person and online, at 25 E. Benton Avenue on the corner of Benton and Washington Streets. Visitors receive a printed bulletin outlining the service, which combines prayer, song, scripture readings, and a sermon. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month, and the table is open to all who wish to participate. Dress ranges from dress clothes to jeans. The congregation began worshiping in 1833 and describes itself as the oldest organized church in DuPage County.

Nursery care for infants and toddlers up to age three runs from 9:45 a.m. through the end of worship with paid, experienced staff. Children from preschool through fifth grade join Children's Time before heading to Sunday school at about 10:15 a.m. Middle and high school students meet in a parent-led youth group, typically twice a month during the school year, and confirmation is a year-long program usually held in eighth or ninth grade. Other offerings include a music program, service and social activities, and community partners. Visitors can park in the church lot, nearby lots, or on the street, and the main entrance is at Benton and Center. Past services are posted online.
