Our Mission: The First Congregational United Church of Christ will be recognized as a loving and dynamic congregation that accepts the diversity of all, promotes justice and peace and respects the integrity of the world.
The First Congregational United Church of Christ is a friendly, loving progressive church committed to making a difference for our church, our community, our nation and our world, today and tomorrow. Our commitment to Just Peace, Open and Affirming and the Parish Nursing Program will enrich and empower the lives they touch. Our focus is the heart of Christianity: relationships rather than beliefs.
We invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable (including but not limited to):
- believers and agnostics
- conventional Christians and questioning skeptics
- women and men
- those of all sexual orientations and gender identities
- those of all races and cultures
- those of all classes and abilities
- those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope
