Sunday Services
We welcome you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30. Dress up or down, bring your kids or take them to Children’s Learning Time, and come as you are. We can’t wait to see you!
First United Church is an inclusive community of Christian faith, living out the good news of God’s love, revealed in Jesus Christ.
Open, Welcoming and Affirming
We welcome our LGBTQ family exactly as you are from the minute you walk in the door.
For Every Age and Stage
We provide safe, nurturing care during worship for children ages birth through grade 5. Your kids are always welcome to stay for the service too!
Accessible to All
We seek to accommodate all the special needs of our community, from service dogs to mobility, hearing, and visual needs. If your need is not addressed, please contact the church office!
Traditioned Innovation
We take the Bible seriously but not literally. We love our organ music AND our solar array. We invite you to get comfortable in our community and uncomfortable with the status quo.
Extravagant Welcome
Join us for coffee hour every Sunday right after church! No nosy questions or pushy doctrines, just genuine hospitality and excellent snacks. We also host monthly potlucks, Play Fridays, and other opportunities to gather.
Online Giving
We receive offerings; we never “take” them. Our online giving portal provides a secure way to contribute to First United and the community ministries we support.
