Through your generous gifts, you enable the maintenance of this space and build upon the mission God calls all of us to fulfill. Your stewardship helps care for the physical aspects of this beautiful and historic (and very old) church building. It also provides resources for expanded outreach, programs that nurture faith and ensure that everyone who comes through the doors feels valued and seen.

Everyone has a part in building up this church as a place of community worship, fellowship and service.

Thank you for your commitment to this journey and for helping First Congregational to be a community church where everyone is welcome.

Stewards,

Stewards Ideas for innovative outreach and new ways of community support continue to flow, but we cannot do it without your generosity.

As we look to the future, you are invited to consider the importance of a shared mission and the role each of us plays in sustaining and strengthening this church home. It is a place that serves as a refuge for the weary, a community for the lonely and a foundation for those seeking purpose and meaning in their lives.
