An Inclusive Community

Our Foundation

FCC was built on the foundational concepts of: 

• Gathering in faith;

• Self-governance;

• and Service to God and community.

Our Purpose

We are a welcoming, inclusive, open-minded Christian community that has discovered the freedom and joy a spiritual life offers. Our ministry is committed to sharing God’s love through service to others, thought-provoking worship, and fostering faith among generations.

Our Vision

We aspire to:

• Nourish the individual on their spiritual journey;

• Explore the intersection of community and faith;

• Remain faithful to God’s vision in a changing world.

Inclusivity

In all aspects of our life and mission, First Congregational Church welcomes and affirms people of every race, age, gender, marital circumstance, sexual orientation, physical or psychological ability, economic condition, ethnic origin and theological tradition.

SELF-GOVERNING

Our community is self-governing. While it is led spiritually by our Pastors, the overall operation and health of the church is the responsibility of all our members, who in most day-to-day matters are represented by the Leadership Council. The council consists of the moderator (head lay leader), associate moderator, the past moderator, the chairs of our boards (Worship, Ministries, Care & Community, and Finance), and two at-large members.
