First Congregational Church is a faith community that loves, welcomes, affirms, and celebrates all who seek. We actively and intentionally engage with the world, seeking to be part of something greater than ourselves.

As a faith community, we value our developing relationships with God and one another. We participate in worship that inspires, in preaching that is warm and engaging, in music that lifts us up, in hospitality for all who come seeking, and in caring for our relationships with one another and the world.
As a people who love, welcome, affirm, and celebrate all who seek, we fully welcome people of diverse life experience, those from many faith traditions and no faith tradition, and strive to live into our Open and Affirming commitments. We build community through shared exploration and action involving all ages and diverse experiences, discovering ourselves and our purpose as we do so.
As active and intentional participants in the world, we engage through outreach and partnerships with organizations such as Family Promise, TriBoro Food Pantry, and the many ministries of the greater United Church of Christ, as well as by sharing space with programs for adults and children.
As people seeking something greater than ourselves, we live in the awareness that we are on a journey that never ends, seeking mutuality in relationships with God, others, and the world. We are less concerned with defining what faith is and more interested in exploring faith in openness to God’s ongoing work. We understand that we are part of a vast, unfolding work, of which we are only part, but for which we hold some responsibility.
