No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here at First UCC!
We are an Open and Affirming congregation, meaning that we truly welcome ALL no matter sexual orientation, gender identity, religious background, abilities or disabilities, race, financial status, etc. We work to always BE THE CHURCH and go above and beyond our walls to show that compassion and God's love have no limits. Dive into our website and social media accounts to learn all about what we do and who we are. If you have questions or want to grab a coffee with either Pastor Dan or Jimmy to learn more about us, send us an email!
Your Comfort Matters to Us!
Although there are designated male and female restrooms, we offer single-use restrooms for any and all genders. There are two located on the main floor: inside the Parlor (near main entrance of church) as well as inside the Whole Health Ministries room (across from Fellowship Hall). Just look for the inclusive restroom sign!
We are an ADA Compliant Facility
Our campus is entirely wheelchair and walker accessible, from handicap parking spaces and a porte-cochère for easy drop offs, to all interior rooms of the church and the upper levels of our meditation garden. We offer personal sound amplifiers and use ADA compliant font sizes on our bulletins and projected PowerPoint. If you have additional questions regarding our ADA compliance, please reach out!
We're Glad You're Here!
Stop by our Welcome Table at the main entrance for information about First UCC (flyers, bookmarks, and handouts), as well as the latest monthly bulletin. We also have personal sound amplifiers for those who need them!
The Family Center
Although we welcome everyone in the sanctuary for worship, some families choose to spend time in here, while still being able to hear what's going on in the sanctuary. A great space to let young bodies stretch their legs! Find out more about our youth ministry by visiting our Children and Youth page.
Kids' Korner: Activities During Worship
For those who wish to remain in the sanctuary during worship, these coloring sheets are the perfect addition to the sermon and Sunday liturgy. You can find the sheets, clipboards, and crayons right outside the sanctuary.
You are Welcome at Our Table!
We celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion the first Sunday of every month as well as on special occasions. We believe that all are welcome at the communion table, no exceptions. We offer gluten-free bread and grape juice as alternates to bread and wine.
Online or In Person, We Are Here for You!
Since 2020, our online presence has grown. Everyone is welcome into our sanctuary on Sunday mornings but for those unable to attend in person, we gladly livestream the service via Facebook Live. The placement of the iPad allows those at home to have a front-row seat to Pastor Dan, the PowerPoint, and musical performances. Click the link above to view previous services!
A Place for Peace
Rain or shine, any day of the week, the Meditation Garden is open for visitors. Come, sit, and relax by the ponds. Listen to nature and reflect and pray for as long as you need. Click the button below to see all the beautiful spaces on the property.
