Interfaith Ecumenical Activities 
First Presbyterian strives to be in touch with other neighbors both within our neighborhoods and in our world. Because of this, working with other sister churches (such as our relationships with First Congregational Church and Faith Lutheran Church of Glen Ellyn) as well as other religious bodies (such as Etz Chiam Synagogue, Naperville Islamic Center, and Church of the Latterday Saints) we seek to be involved, partner with, and to learn from others in a very broad and diverse God-blessed world.
