The first congregation to settle in Oak Park, First United Methodist Church's parishioners are committed to balancing traditional Christian teachings and the modern era.
Today, the congregation is led by Pastor Young-Mee Park, whose sermons are distributed to parishioners in print each Sunday and are also available online.
Members of the church play an important role in the church's growth and mission. To that end, parishioners are invited to serve as ministers, ushers, youth leaders, guest preachers and in other capacities. Members are also active through a book club, an after-worship fellowship and craft circle.
