                 Our Mission:
To be the Church of Christ which provides a place of belonging and acceptance with opportunities for ministry and personal growth through Biblical preaching, teaching, prayer, and the study of God's Word for everyone.

At the top of our weekly worship bulletin it says that First Congregational Church is the church that love built, and yet, we know that the church continues to build and grow, and so we now think of ourselves as the church that love is continuing to build. Christian love is at the heart of our ministry and mission here at First Congregational Church. Responding to the love and grace of God, we unite in Christian fellowship for the worship of God and the service of God's children, and seek individually and as a congregation, through the commitment of our physical, mental, financial, and spiritual resources, to grow and to help others to grow in faith, understanding and expression of God's purpose for humankind.

Our Pennywise Mission and Ministry: 
The Pennywise thrift store of the First Congregational Church reaches out to our community by providing used (and sometimes new) clothing at a reasonable cost. It is run by volunteers from our congregation. Generally the store is open on Thursdays and Fridays from 9am to 4pm, and on Saturdays from 10am to noon.

Our Prayer Shawl Ministry:
Recognizing the power of prayer, our prayer shawl ministry reaches out to those in special need of prayers. Shawls are prayerfully knitted and crocheted, then blessed during morning worship...then they are taken to those who are in need of prayers.

Some of the Other activities and ministries that you will find at our church:
- An active Youth group for all youth in grades 5 through 12.

***This is not meant to be a complete list, but a sampling of some of the activities and ministries that you will find at our church.

We welcome you to come and join us at First Congregational Church...the church that love is continuing to build.
