Welcome From the Pastor

Welcome to the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ

We welcome you with an "Extravagant" welcome, who ever you are, Come worship with us! In the United Church of Christ we celebrate the limitless and boundless love of God, made known to us in Jesus Christ. We believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that absolutely no one is beyond the reach of the infinite ocean of God's mercy.

For those with doubts, fears, or struggling with your faith, we welcome you. For those who are searching for a deeper meaning in life, we welcome you. For those on the mountain top, or those in the valley, the strong and the weak, the young and the old; we welcome you.

Come join us and see the difference it makes to affirm your connections to the source of all blessings. Be affirmed in who you are. This is your time of blessing. Come worship with us. We welcome you with an extravagant welcome.

-Pastor Frank McKenzie
