Our History
Northbrook, originally Shermerville, was established in 1885. In 1890 some young people from the Congregational Church in Glencoe, with a few friends from Shermerville, started a Sunday School in the Shermerville School House on Waukegan Road across from what is now the Crestwood Senior Center. As that Sunday School grew a committee of Christians called for a meeting at the railroad station on May 21, 1892 to establish The Hope Union Church of Shermerville. There were difficulties in the early years, and for the first 25 years, the church’s size and vitality was somewhat dependent on itinerant preachers from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
During the first 30 years, the membership did not increase as there was little money in the area until 1922. In that year, the membership voted to become part of the Presbyterian denomination, in order to bring stability and support to the church. This was the same year that the village of Shermerville changed it’s name to Northbrook, and the Hope Union Church of Shermerville was renamed Northbrook Presbyterian Church.
On May 15, 1949, the new church building and sanctuary at 1300 Shermer Road was officially dedicated and the congregation became known as The Village Presbyterian Church.
Since its inception, this congregation has been committed to sharing and nurturing faith in Jesus Christ and serving others in the community and throughout the world.
