We’re so excited that you’re interested in learning about First Parish and we hope you feel at home from the moment you step through our doors.
Being a Christian is not about practicing a religion. It’s about having a personal relationship with the living God! Since our founding in 1644, First Parish Congregational Church (FPCC) has proclaimed the “Good News” that God loves the world, each and every person, and that he has an eternal plan for each and every life.
Here at First Parish, we want your worship experience to be a fruitful and spirit-filled one.
Come, Praise the Lord! We offer a choice of two services each Sunday.
Our first service is a traditional service held at 9:30 am in our beautiful Sanctuary. Our traditional service features traditional hymns accompanied by our talented choir and spectacular organ and pipes. Please join us at the table as we honor and remember our Lord, Jesus Christ and sense our spirits being renewed (1st Sunday of each month).
We also offer a contemporary service that begins at 11:00 am, also in our Sanctuary, led by our very own praise band, Cornerstone. The first Sunday of every month is Communion Sunday. Please join us at the table as we honor and remember our Lord, Jesus Christ and sense our spirits being renewed.
We’re Here to Serve. During both services we offer child care for babies through toddlers, plus Sunday school classes for children from pre-school through 8th grade, as well as a confirmation class for high school aged students. Visit our Children’s Ministries for the complete listing of offerings for Sunday school study. After the service, everyone gathers in fellowship in our spacious vestry as we chat over coffee, juice and snacks.
I, Belong. Throughout the week we have many Bible Study and small group options to select from depending on your schedule and your topic of interest. Check out our Bible Studies page for more details on various adult Bible Studies. For 6-12th graders in the community our thriving Youth Group, led by our Youth Minister, is the place to be each Wednesday from 6:30-8:00pm, as well as for various special events throughout the year.
You can also grow, learn, and develop your relationship during your journey in Christ, with various resources available to borrow from our Church Library.
At First Parish, We Reach Out. If you’re interested in ministries that serve our community, we have a few regularly scheduled events that would welcome your participation.
