"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the first and the great commandment and the second is like unto it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments rest the law and the prophets."
At First Church, we take seriously the Great Commandment and we express our love of God in our worship together and our love of neighbor, through our care for one another, our outreach into the community, and care of God's creation. Although we are a small congregation, we give generously of our resources to the needs of our community.
We also believe that we are all Ministers. According to our kinship with Christ and our commission to go and make disciples, we are all charged with ministering as Jesus taught us.
In our United Church of Christ Statement of Faith, we professes that God calls each of us into God's Church to accept the costs and joys of discipleship, to be servants in the service of others, and to proclaim the gospel to all the world.
With these things in mind, we understand that we share a calling; that we will be challenged at times, and that we will celebrate at other times in responding to that call!
