Welcome to our church
We want to get to know you.
At the center of the city,
there is a place and a people
with searching hearts,
with inquisitive minds,
with welcoming arms,
and a restless longing for
compassion and justice.
At First Congregational United Church of Christ, we believe God formed such a place in the past and God is creating anew such a community.
Perhaps you are seeking such a place and people.
At First Church, we often say, “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey,
you’re welcome here.” We mean it. All kinds of people and families are here:
young and old, of different races and many economic circumstances,
people of activism and prayer, people of many abilities,
of different sexual orientations and gender identities,
those who have attended another church or never walked in a church’s door,
those who love to sing and those who love music, but can’t carry a tune.
So come with your own life story. We pray God will meet you here.
Bring your questions, doubts, prayers and hopes, your laughter or even tears,
your desire to rest and heal, or roll-up your sleeves and get involved.
God may be calling you to check us out. You can be part of this new adventure.
We’d love to greet you: “May God’s peace be yours.”
Please consider us your spiritual home.
Sid Fowler
Transition Minister
