The NPC Story

Naperville Presbyterian Church (NPC) was founded in June 1984 as a result of a national vision for beginning new churches in cities throughout North America. Our founding pastor, Mike Marcey, came to Naperville with a goal to plant a vibrant, dynamic church that would be the "mother church" for new churches throughout the Chicagoland area. Naperville Presbyterian has planted seven churches, five of them in the Chicagoland area.

Our Vision Statement, to infect all people with joy in God's glory and passion to become like Him, captures our past and present desire to be a creative, dynamic and growing church serving as a resource church for many ministries while sharing God’s love with the community.

Over our first two decades God has brought together a remarkable group of people with a similar vision for ministry and a shared dream of being part of a unique and powerful work of God in this area of Chicago. From our beginning, we have had a clear sense of vision and approach to ministry that is lived out through application of our Vision Statement, Mission Priorities and Core Values.
