Our Mission

 

Serve the Church

Our weekday and weekend gatherings take many people to make them work,
from ushers to greeters,
youth and adult group leaders,
care ministry workers and
everywhere in-between.
 
 
 
 

Serve the Community

We seek and are committed to building
relationships and have intentional and strategic partnerships where we can work alongside the work God is already doing in our community.
 
 

Serve the World

We believe God has called us to be a church that follows Him by turning our hearts and focus to global communities by serving our neighbors where they are.

Dear Visitor,
On behalf of the First Congregational Church, we want to say “Welcome! And we are glad you are here.”
 
Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and worship with us. FCC is more than just a place or a people, it’s so much more!
 
It’s a life-giving tapestry of relationships, ministries, dreams, hope, help, faith, and in the sharing of the kind of love that God has given to us, through the birth of His Son Jesus.
 
We are a family that believes that Jesus Christ is Lord and because God first loved us, we love others.
 
Oh, we are not perfect, but that is why we get together on Sundays: to worship a God who loves us just as we are, right where we are at. Because of God’s life transforming grace in Jesus Christ, we want to praise God, love others as we have been loved, and help others.
 
We are all in a different place in our faith journey and we respect that, so no one here will tell you what you should do or believe.
 
YOU ARE LOVED BY GOD, and you are welcome here!
It’s a family that understands that the living Christ can meet us exactly where we are and change the way our whole world looks, for the better.
 
May God’s grace pour through your life, creating a strength and confidence the likes of which you’ve never known!
 
Blessing,
Pastor Gary
