"Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God." - Micah 6:8

Picture
At First Congregational United Church of Christ we believe the church exists for mission. For many people, “mission” conjures up images of missionaries serving in far away countries, but that is only a part of our mission. Some of our mission is right here in Manhattan, some even within our church walls. When we say the church exists for mission we mean that the church is how the mission of Jesus continues in our day and into the future. 

Our Mission
The mission of our church is:
  • To love and accept others unconditionally as God loves and accepts us, and  by example, to encourage others to do the same.
  • To challenge ourselves to grow spiritually through worship, education,  nurture, reflection, discussion, fellowship, and outreach.
  • To minister to others locally, nationally, and globally with the same fervor  as we minister to ourselves, through the sharing of our talents, gifts, and  resources.
We hold ourselves accountable before God for this mission  statement.

We invite you to learn about some of our works of justice and mercy by using the menu above.
