First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652

First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652 First Church, 1652, in Farmington is an Open and Affirming community of the United Church of Christ. Welcome to our guests and to old friends.

We are a community of faith dedicated to extending God's great and life-changing love to one and all. As our pastor declares at the beginning of worship:
"Welcome to all who have no church home, need strength, want to follow Christ, have doubts, or do not believe! Welcome to people of all ages, abilities, races, nationalities, and ethnicities! Welcome to people of all sexual orientations and gende

r expressions! Welcome to people of all political persuasions and financial means! No matter who you are, who you love, what your family looks like, or where you come from, you are welcome at First Church in the name of Jesus the Christ: Jesus who welcomes everybody and turns nobody away. You are invited to live into Christ's transformational love, for God never leaves us as we were found." As our lives are changed through our encounters with the Gospel, we seek to spread God's great message of love to our community and world by working for justice and peace, by intentionally growing our faith as disciples of Christ Jesus, by growing in generosity in the world and in the church, by joyously worshiping God inside and outside our Meetinghouse, and by committing ourselves to God's purposes in the world.

RALLY SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 13th

Rally Day is a special day in the life of our church. It is a time to welcome our members, friends, and visitors back to church. At 10:00 a.m., we will worship together in the Meetinghouse and have a blessing of the backpacks. There will be no Sunday School. Children are invited to remain in church with their families. Following the service, we will move to Porter Hall (next to the Meeting House) and enjoy a light lunch and fellowship. Committee members will provide a brief overview of the ways to become involved in the life of First Church. We will share plans about our children and youth programs. There will be fun activities/games for the children, too!
