There are many ways to engage with the heart of our faith community

What to Expect on Sunday Morning
We know it can be hard to walk into a new faith community, so we want to help you feel at home before you arrive.
​
Come as you are.
There’s no dress code, no expectation that you believe a certain way, and no assumption that you know what to do. We’re all learning, growing, and worshiping together.
​
A Welcome for Everyone.
We are an Open and Affirming Congregation. Everyone is invited into the full life and ministry of our church—regardless of age, race, gender identity, sexuality, ability, ethnicity, economic or educational background, or citizenship status.
​
Children Belong Here.
Kids are a vital part of our community! We have a family-friendly space at the back of the sanctuary with quiet activities, a rocking chair, and room to move as needed.
​
Accessibility and Inclusion.
Our building is fully wheelchair accessible, and we offer hearing-assist devices for those who need them.
​
Worship Style.
Our worship follows a traditional Protestant flow—but we’re not formal. We blend scripture, prayer, music, and reflection in ways that honor different spiritual styles. Some weeks are contemplative, some joyful, all grounded in love.
​
Our Faith.
We are a theologically progressive community that loves Jesus and seeks to follow his way of justice, compassion, and hope. Read more here.


Where Service
Becomes Worship
At First Congregational UCC, worship is something we create together. Every act of service—whether seen or unseen—helps weave the fabric of our shared life and deepens the spirit of welcome in our community.
There are many ways to get involved! From serving on a Ministry Circle or Team to helping on Sunday mornings, your time, creativity, and care make a real difference.
