  About Us

You can think of First Congregational Church as a group of people "doing life together." We are a faith community on a journey, people with a shared mission - and we hope that your life will be enriched through your involvement, so that together we can bring hope and healing to our world in these exciting times.

Community Versus Place

Many who come to First Congregational are filled with hurt or longing not met in other faith communities.  Here they find openness and acceptance that is a reflection of Christ's love.

Because doctrine can be a division, we only ask that you follow Christ's two commandments to love God and to love one another, wholly and completely.

Those who come to First Congregational experience loving acceptance.  If you have have been rejected by another community, you are welcome here.  If you can't believe the religion taught to you as a child but still want a loving relationship with God, here is your home.  If there are barriers to your relationship with God, then we wish to be with you in loving compassion.

Based on the principles of the Pilgrims we are a covenant community bound in ties of fellowship and mutual support.

 

   
 

Lent at First

The Lenten season begins Wednesday February 9 with a special service at 7:30 pm.  Lent is that time of our faith journey when we, like Christ in the desert, take the time to look into our lives and at the gospel message. 

During our Lenten journey we will take time to prepare ourselves for the great Easter Feast.  We will spend Tuesday evenings looking at the history of Christian faith as lived by individuals in many ages.  Join us on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm in the pastor's study at the church beginning February 22.

Worldwide Marriage Day

Celebrate your marriage with us on Sunday, February 6 at the 11 am service.  Whether you have been married for a few days or decades this is a great opportunity to renew your pledges of love and fidelity.

SARAH is Coming to First

Social Action Response and Help is an opportunity for you to make a difference in the life of our community and the world.  Each week  we will work together during our Fellowship hour to live out our call to service.
