Resources for New Officers

Here are some resources for New Officers of the First Presbyterian Church of Libertyville

Video invitation to consider what we believe:

Take a moment to watch this conversation. Dave Tomlinson, the man being interviewed is a priest in the Church of England who is actively working and writing with agnostics and various non-believers as his church seeks to connect with our increasingly secular society. Use this conversation as a place to ponder what you believe and why. The video is not meant as an affirmation of our congregation, but as a prompt for your own exploration within the context of our faith tradition.
