Love, Joy, Peace...
Our Core Beliefs
First Congregational United Church of Christ is a community of faith, rooted in love, open to all, and following Jesus’ inclusive teachings of justice and peace.
Biblical Truth

We here at First Congregational know our Scripture continues to be the foundation of our faith while also realizing the cultural context in which it was written. As we say in the UCC, “God is still speaking.”

Love
We work with love, believing every person is a beloved child of God, whether we like it or not! We are allies with those at risk of deportation at El Centro des Los Pobres and anywhere else we can help.
Justice
We are not to judge, but to love. We work for justice in supporting, with our time, money, and meals, the local (two blocks from the church) homeless day shelter, Posada.
Inclusion
We are an Open and Affirming Church. We open our doors and our hearts to everyone on the spiritual journey of life, regardless of race, nationality, gender identification, faith tradition, or political leanings!
