First Congregational Church of Minnesota

Welcome. We’re glad you found us! First Church is an open and affirming, just peace community.

At First Church, we care about each other and the world. We look for God in the scriptures and everyday life. We think and pray and break bread together. We ask questions that don’t have easy answers. We serve our neighbors. We raise our voices about the justice issues of our day. We proudly belong to the United Church of Christ. We think diversity is a beautiful gift from God and we do our best to truly welcome everyone. Worship is at the core of our life together. Join us at 10 a.m. each Sunday.

During this Epiphany season at First Church, we will be pondering the ways God is revealed in our ordinary days. How is God calling you? What are your spiritual gifts? What healing of body, mind or spirit do you need in order to live more fully into your identity as a beloved child of God? Join us, as, in this season, to reflect on these questions.

Our Lives as Ministry

Don’t forget to decorate and bring back your ministry cards, handed out in worship service on January 15th. These will be incorporated into a quilt that celebrates all the ministry we do, from volunteering, to raising and nurturing children, or helping a neighbor. Cards can be dropped off in the basket on the action table in Pilgrim Hall. Additional cards are available, if you were not able to attend on the 15th.
