Our Mission:
We are a congregation of diverse Christian believers, empowered by love and guided by the Holy Spirit.  It is our mission to enable personal spiritual growth, collective outreach to the community, and stewardship
of God's creation.

Open and Affirming without regard to sexual orientation

The United Church of Christ is a non-creedal and non-dogmatic church.  As a progressive church, we are open to new ideas and are tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others.  We learn from each other as well as from our ancestors in faith.  We truly believe there is much more truth to break forth from God's Word.

As an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ, we are a diverse group of people who have known the joy of having been accepted and affirmed by God and by one another.  Our congregation is made up of persons of different ages, education, races, abilities, and sexual orientations.  We hold varying theological and political beliefs and come from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.  As a church community,
we celebrate and find strength in that diversity
and view it as a way to understand
the inclusiveness of God's love.

The ....And Affirming Committee aims to continue
to find ways to foster a spirit of inclusion and love
for those in the First Congregational Church community
regardless of sexual orientation or identity.
