Mission:
Faith Church is a body of Christ seeking a new vision to minister to its congregation, the community, and to be a witness of the Holy Spirit by:

- providing a spiritual home to young and old where they can share their time, talent and treasures;
- inviting others to Christ and to share the gospel of God's boundless love by word and deed;
- providing a variety of opportunities for fellowship, worship and learning;
- responding to individual concerns and needs for care and counsel; and
- being peacemakers and providers of local, national and worldwide support.

Our mission is to grow spiritually as a family of God. We seek to be a welcoming community of faith, where all who seek to follow God as made known through Jesus Christ can grow in understanding of self, our Christian heritage and God's will for us in this unique time and place.

History:
The Story of Faith United Protestant Church is just that—a story of faith: faith of a group of young people in their God, in themselves and in their future.

Back in 1949 when the village of Park Forest was just rising out of the cornfields of Illinois and the first residents were moving into the apartments, Philip M. Klutznick, one of its founding fathers, went to the Church Federation of Greater Chicago and discussed with them how to serve the Protestants who were living in the new town. As a result, Rev. Hugo Leinberger became chaplain of the new community and he was to interview the newcomers as to their church preferences.

His survey reported that 80% of the Protestant families desired an interdenominational church with a good preacher and a strong Sunday school program. And so was born the United Protestant concept—bringing people of all denominations together, blending a wide variety of religious traditions into a vibrant new community of believers.
