The First
Congregational United Church of Christ was founded in October, 1841.
After meeting in a log cabin and schoolhouse, we built the first church
in 1850, on this street, two blocks west of here. The congregation relocated to
this site and built its second church in 1865. That wooden frame building burned
to the ground in 1942. Rebuilding began in 1946, with the Congregational Meeting
House, now our Plymouth Hall. The new sanctuary was built in 1954. The bell,
rescued from the fire, now hangs in the tower. Building for Christ was a
renewal project that was completed in 2000.
Mission
Statement (adopted February 4, 2001)
Founded in scripture and led by the Holy Spirit, our
mission is to be a Christ-centered family of faith. Through worship, prayer,
study, fellowship and outreach we seek to be a loving congregation committed to
spiritual nourishment and growth. Empowered by God’s grace, we extend an
invitation to all to join us in serving the local and worldwide community. |
