Mission Statement of the Staff
of First Congregational Church:
Guided by the Holy Spirit, our mission is to teach the Biblical
principles of love, care, and respect for each other as exemplified
through the teachings of Jesus Christ. Constant in our struggle
to interpret the will of God in our lives and the life of the
congregation we serve, we will lead by our example of prayer,
outreach, teamwork, and creativity while nurturing the particular
gifts of each person.
Church Ministries:
The weekly newsletter, The Congregational Spire, is available
at the Visitor's Center and on our website with information about
current Church activities. Information about other Church ministries
is posted on the bulletin boards in the hallway near Pilgrim Hall.
