We, the members of First Congregational Church of Wilmette, strive to be a reconciling, healing community, seeking to bind together followers of Jesus Christ for the purpose of joyfully worshipping God and serving God's vision of peace, justice, and well-being for all creation.

We are committed to the transforming message of Jesus who proclaimed Good News to all people and responded to pressing human needs by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, liberating the oppressed, and confronting the powers of injustice.

We are committed to ecumenical cooperation with all individuals, organizations, and institutions working toward the wholeness of humanity.

We are committed to assisting persons in developing a personal relationship with God, in discovering their spiritual gifts and enabling them to serve others with their gifts.
