GETTING TO KNOW FIRST CHURCH…
Gathered by the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony in August of 1629, First Church is one of the oldest Protestant churches founded in North America and the first to be governed by congregational polity.
Today, we remain a self-governing congregation that follows its by-laws and democratically elects its officers. The First Church welcomes all who wish to share in our religious fellowship and spiritual quest regardless of color, race, creed, or sexual orientation.
We welcome and celebrate various theological, philosophical and spiritual diversity. We espouse and work to live the values of freedom, reason, interdependence, equity, justice, transformation, pluralism, and generosity as pathways to honoring love as our central tenet. We do not ask what you believe or expect you to think in a specific way; we only ask that you work to live a kind, helpful life with dignity.
CHURCH SERVICES
Services are held every Sunday at 10:30am with Sunday School taking place concurrently. Following the service we have a coffee hour known as Fellowship where all are welcome. Limited street parking is available, but there are public metered lots nearby.
