FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
OF SOUTHAMPTON, UCC
WHO ARE WE
WHO WE ARE
We are a congregation in the United Church of Christ. We believe God loves all people. We are an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation, meaning that regardless of one’s sexual orientation or gender identity everyone is welcome to participate in our congregational life. Our communion table is open to everyone, even if you’re not a Christian.
We believe that love is more than an emotion. Love is a verb, which we try to live out every day.
Believing in the Luther’s priesthood of all believers, we encourage people to use their spiritual gifts to serve the church, our community, and the world. Our organizational structure encourages people to follow their passions. Lay members lead worship at least once a month.
