Choose Love. Be the Light. Change the World.
Welcome to
First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights
Worship with Us
Welcome back to in-person worship in the Sanctuary. At the June Session meeting, it was decided that masks are not required in worship for anyone, but recommended for those who are not vaccinated or who otherwise wish to wear one. Ushers will be available on Sunday mornings to answer any questions you may have.
Live streaming is still available at 10:30 am on Sundays. Video of the sermon will be posted here on the website as soon as possible following the service.
