At First Church, we continue the spiritual legacy that has been extended to us from the Congregationalists and the UCC:

Therefore, we respond to God’s call by welcoming everyone regardless of ability, age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation or socio-economic background. To proclaim in word and deed the love of Christ, we affirm that all may share in the full life, ministry, fellowship, responsibilities and blessings of our congregation. (Open and Affirming statement, 2008)
