Who we are
We are a congregation grounded in the reformed, reforming, progressive Christian tradition.
Our Covenant
Love is the doctrine of this church; the quest of truth its sacrament; and service is its prayer: to dwell together in peace; to seek knowledge in freedom; to serve humankind in fellowship; to the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the Divine.
Thus do we covenant with each other and with God.
As an Open and Affirming Congregation we covenant to welcome all persons of all ages, races, backgrounds, and sexual orientations as equal participants in the love and grace of God and thus, as equal participants in the life and ministry of this congregation.
If you can embrace the tenets of this covenant, and if you seek an open and affirming community of faith to nurture your spirit, then no matter who, no matter what, no matter where you are on life’s journey … you belong.

First Congregational UCC History
Lord, teach me to listen.
The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for Thy servant heareth." Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking. Amen.
