   - A note from the pastor:
Thanks for checking out our website.  First Congregational United Church of Christ is a historical and progresive church in the tradition of the early Pilgrims of New England.  We were the first church to ordain women, oppose, slavery, and open our church home to folks of varying lifestyles.  Today we continue those traditions.

We are an open and affirming church, firmly rooted in the Good News of Jesus Christ.  We believe that God is still speaking to us as we journey through a life of faith.  Mission and outreach, worshipo that relates to everyday life, and friendly people are the cornerstones of our life together.

First Congregational is a comfortable, relaxed place to join others on the journey of faith.  We do not pressure people to believe one way, but encourage them to follow Christ from their own perspective as disciples.

I personally invite yout join our sojourn of faith.  Join us as we continue this journey of discipleship.

Your Servant in Christ!
Tom Neilsen
