In response to the boundless grace of God, on March 19, 1995, the members of First Congregational Church adopted an "Open and Affirming" statement that reflects our desire to be a church of extravagant welcome:


We believe that all people are children of God and affirm the worth and dignity of all races, ethnicities, ages, abilities, genders and sexual orientations. Recognizing that we are an increasingly diverse culture and that there are differences among us, we make a commitment to lovingly accept our diversity with respect, compassion and understanding. We welcome all people into the full life and ministry of this church.


All people are welcome at our church.
