Winnetka Congregational Church

Winnetka Congregational Church It is a place where you will find a group of diverse people attempting to learn together and grow in a faith that follows the way of Jesus Christ.

A House of Worship for All People

Our purpose is to change lives by following the teaching and life of Jesus Christ with peace and courage; and to weave the grace of God into the fabric of our relationships and the world. We are a place where people from a rich variety of faith traditions, creeds, and religions have found common ground and share with one another a supportive community working to

make a difference in the world. You will also discover at Winnetka Congregational Church that we have a very high priority on engaging worship, transforming outreach, and the development and growth of our children and youth. If this is the type of fellowship you have been looking for, we invite you to join us. We have a place for you and your family. We invite you to spend time with us. Get to know us, explore our ministries with our children and youth, fellowship with us, join in doing one of our many outreach projects, and especially be with us in worship. Welcome to the vibrant community that is Winnetka Congregational Church.

As Pride Month begins, we celebrate how far we’ve come while recognizing the work that still lies ahead in supporting and uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community.

At WCC, we are a church for all people—a safe, welcoming, and affirming space where everyone is seen, valued, and loved.
