In 1924, the Northern Illinois District of the Missouri Synod canvassed the Dunning Park neighborhood of Chicago to determine whether there were enough Lutherans residing in the area to warrant a new Lutheran Church. Response indicated that there was and the wheels were set in motion to form a Mission. On October 24, 1924, letters were sent to Lutherans in the area, inviting them to attend Sunday Services at the new Mission. On October 26th, the first service was held in the community hall, on nearby Addison Street -- the home of the Dunning Park Improvement Club. Rev. Theodore L. Blanken led nine adults and four children in the first worship service. With increased interest in the Mission, a congregation was formed on February 8, 1925. At that time the congregation decided to call Rev. Blanken as Pastor. It became immediately obvious that a formal church building was necessary to properly accommodate the growing congregation. On August 29, 1926 the first permanent chapel and day school were dedicated on the site of our present school.

Established in 1864, the First United Methodist Church of Evanston has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. With two Sunday services and a variety of classes for all ages, the church caters to a 700-person congregation and operates a child care center on the second floor. Known for its extensive mission programs, the church provides opportunities for youths to engage in meaningful service both locally and internationally, including trips to Ghana and other distant destinations. Conveniently located near a paid parking lot that is free on Sundays, the First United Methodist Church offers a welcoming and accessible place of worship and community involvement.
