A church with a long history and a contemporary spirit.

Welcome!

We’re so glad you’ve found us online, and we warmly invite you to discover us in person, if you’re able.  We hope this website gives you a good glimpse of who we are and we trust that meeting our congregation would give you an even better one.  We’re a faith community of younger and older, families and singles, just-got-here-recently and been-here-a-long time.  Among us are those who have held a faith for years and those whose seeking of a meaningful spiritual perspective for life is more recent.  We’re Open & Affirming – fully welcoming of all – and see ourselves as a church with a long history and a contemporary spirit.  Another way to say that?  Deep roots and open minds.

We’d love to welcome you!

Our Open & Affirming Statement

Following the teachings of Jesus and the ongoing leading of the Holy Spirit, we, The First Congregational Church of Canton Center, affirm that all people are created in the image of God, uniquely gifted, and called into the life of community.

We are an open congregation that fully welcomes and affirms persons of all ages, races, nationalities, faith backgrounds, economic and social status, marital status, family configuration, physical and mental health or ability, gender, gender identity and expression, and sexual orientation.

We welcome all into full participation in the membership, fellowship and ministries of this church, as we seek to practice a faith that gathers us inclusively and equips us joyfully for lives of love and service, in both the church and the world.

Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
