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).
