First Congregational United Church of Christ sings these words at the beginning of worship every Sunday morning … You are welcome here, no matter who you are, No matter where you are on life’s journey…Come and join with us! For us these words are more than a tune and some nice words. They encapsulate the kind of extravagant welcome we believe God has extended to us – a welcome God has called us to pass along to everyone else. Within the unfathomable reaches of God’s grace, we are learning to follow Christ through simple yet profound practices of discipleship. And along the way we have a lot of fun too.
As Elgin’s first church, established in 1836, we are committed to staying in Downtown Elgin and continuing the ministry we began so long ago. But we are not hidebound to the past. In these days of rapid change within the culture, and within the church, we are rooted in tradition while sailing into the future. Plus, we do not believe we have all the answers. We do believe we are called to follow Jesus and explore the pilgrimage given to us.
So whether you are a spiritual seeker just beginning your walk toward God, or a committed believer continuing your walk with Christ, “you are welcome here, no matter who you are.”
