“A spiritual family shaping a better you for creating a better world --
one loving act at a time.”
First Congregational United Church of Christ, in the heart of Paxton, is welcoming of persons who seek to be a part of a community that values love, justice, peace, and compassion in the Spirit of Christ --- regardless of age, ethnicity, religious or socio-economic background, or other aspect of our human diversity. We are people who care about people, and who come together to multiply that caring concern and solidarity in action.
If you are looking for a dedicated community of people who seek to create a spiritual home for those more concerned with practicing our values than espousing our beliefs, who want to discover ways in which to serve the local community and wider world, who are understanding of differences in faith perspectives, and who build enduring and mutually respectful relationships that nurture and inspire, then you have come to the right place.
We invite you, no matter who are or where you are on life's journey, to be a part of this family of faith-filled fellowship. We hope you will find a place here where you can learn and teach, be encouraged and encourage, and find ways in which you can make a positive difference even as you are nurtured through the ministries with which we are, and hope to be, engaged.
Welcome to this center of sacred fellowship where you never have to walk alone, where your sorrows are affirmed and your joys are celebrated, where you your mind will be challenged and your heart nourished, and where your spirit can soar.
