We're a different kind of church:
We value and respect diversity in the ways we express our faith. We enjoy thoughful dialogue about faith issues. We encourage each other to work for justice and to care for people in need in our community and in our world.

At the First Congregational Church, we know God is still speaking. We invite you to learn more about us, our ministries and our programs. If you are seeking a faith community of thoughtful, compassionate people who are open to diversity and committed to caring, we invite you to join us at 10:30 a.m. this Sunday morning for worship and fellowship. Our beautiful church is also handicapped accessible. We hope you will visit us soon!
Upcoming Events:

In 1957, two of America's oldest denominations joined together to form the United Church of Christ: the Congregational Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. Each UCC church is unique, but we all hold to several basic beliefs about our churches:

We hold to unity in our faith in Christ, yet diversity in how we express our faith.

There is no test of belief that we must pass, but we continually strive to express our faith in our lives.

We believe God still acts in our life and our world and continues to help us to understand who God is.

All members of our church are called to minister to our members and to our community, and to respond to God's call to them directly.

Although we cooperate in mission together, each congregation is free to act in the ways it feels to be led by God.

We are involved in our community in many ways and are deeply committed to ministering to the needs of individuals and society, and to seeking justice and liberation for all people.
