Spiritual Life

We envision a spiritually alive, Christ-centered community seeking to be transformed by God’s grace.

We envision a church of committed disciples engaged in evangelism and generous acts of love and compassion.

Our spirituality, as member of the First Congregational Church, is continually nurtured through God’s abundant grace and eternal love made known to us through the life of Christ and the ongoing activity of the Holy Spirit.

As an expression of the United Church of Christ (UCC), our congregation celebrates two sacraments, Baptism and Holy Communion.  The rite of Confirmation and the covenants of church membership and marriage further provide opportunities for spiritual formation.

Through the life and work of our open and affirming congregation, we pray that God’s Word and ways will provide spiritual guidance and hope for all who long for peace and promise, meaning and direction, priority and purpose, and love and forgiveness, in a world that includes hurt and hope, order and chaos, majesty and mystery, along with wonder and tragedy.

Thus, we hope and pray that our Sunday School and youth programs, adult education and social issues forums, worship and sacramental celebrations, friendships and fellowship gatherings, and our mission support and outreach projects all work together to stimulate, sustain, deepen and direct a spiritual harvest that inspires and guides us as followers of the One we claim and proclaim as Christ.
