Join us on Sundays for in-person worship. We are currently in our summer schedule which includes a service outdoors (Chapel In The Woods) at 8 a.m. This shortened service is designed to help you connect with God sounded by his creation. If you prefer to come a bit later or our 10 a.m. service in the sanctuary. We blend our worship styles so you'll get a mix of hymns and praise songs. We hope to see you on Sunday!

First Church is the oldest church in Crystal Lake. Though we’ve been worshipping God and serving our community for over 175 years, we look to the future of ministry in the greater Crystal Lake area. Our mission can be summed up in 3 short statements. We are:
We seek to share the life-giving news of God’s salvation by inviting others into a vital relationship with Jesus Christ.
First Church is committed to healthy relationships across the generations and among those who call this community of faith home.
Like Jesus himself, we are here not to be served by others, but to serve others on his behalf (Mark 10:45).
Outdoor Service | 8 a.m.
Blended Worship | 10 a.m.
(10 a.m. service is live-streamed)
Every Sunday, we offer multiple experiences for kids and families. Kids are always welcome in worship, but we have age-appropriate programs (Kids First) that run concurrently to our services.
