Family Ministries

Family Ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Glen Ellyn is committed to helping everyone in our church recognize their role as “Family Members” with one another. At First Pres, our Family Ministries focus on finding ways to be a valuable partner with parents for the spiritual nurture of their children. We also believe that Family Ministries includes our entire Church Family. Intergenerational activities and experiences are intentionally planned throughout the year to bring all of our families together so we can learn and grow with each other.
