St. Norbert offers masses on Sundays at 7:30am, 9:30am, 11:30am and 5:30pm, as well as daily.
After the 10:15am Sunday service, St. Giles Episcopal Church hosts a coffee hour where congregation members can talk while the kids play.

The Village Presbyterian Church has evolved over more than 100 years from the small group of worshipers who met in a railroad station in the late 1800s. Since 1949, the church has inhabited its current location at Shermer Road and Church Street downtown. Both contemporary and traditional services are offered, as well as outdoor services from June to September on the church's beautifully landscaped grounds.
Led by Rev. Melissa Early, Northbrook United Methodist Church offers services on Sundays at 10 a.m. (and earlier during the summer).

In addition to weekly bible study groups, prayer meetings and services, this tiny, active congregation hosts a Pathfinder Ministry, which is a Seventh-Day Adventist youth group similar to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
