No Matter Where You Are on Life's Journey, You Are Welcome at
First Congregational United Church of Christ
Your Tree of Life Church |
 Each worship service at First Congregational UCC is a unique experience. Because we are a Congregational church with members coming to us from different branches of Christianity, our worship liturgy changes to meet the needs of our diverse congregation and touch upon the worship life of all of our members. In other words, our congregation is composed of former Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Christian Scientists, etc. and persons with no particular denominational background at all, coming together to participate in our common worship, express our individual beliefs, learn from each other and thus grow closer to God.
 Our pastor, Rev. Richard J. Mangnall, works at crafting each service around a message taken from a passage of scripture, a message that informs us about God's will for our daily lives. The liturgy he creates is designed to reflect the message he hears in that week's scripture. Our congregation believes as he does that the Bible is the authority we turn to in order to discern God's will for our lives. However, he also believes that God is still speaking to us through the words of the Bible, that God has yet more truth and light to break forth from these sacred writings, and that we must share our thoughts and ideas if we are to distill God's Word from the biblical texts.
 
Music is also an integral part of our worship at First Congregational UCC.
