FIRST UNITED CHURCH, PRESBYTERIAN

“ … a living church, where the congregation is open to new and emerging leadership, not just from the pastor, but from within the congregation itself.”

Welcome to the First United Church

HERE'S AN INTERESTING FACT:

This church originally was located on, and was
the first church on "Church Street." In 1950, it combined with the Methodist church and
moved into the present building on
Main Street. The Church street building
is now the Town Youth Center.

Welcome from the Pastor

Thank you for spending a few minutes visiting our site. We hope you will catch a glimpse of the joy we share in our journey of Christian faith- enough to want to come and check us out! We’re an open-minded and open-hearted congregation with questions, ideas, and hope. We are young and old and in between. We have a lot of kids who keep our worship lively and engaging! We value a diversity of perspectives and yet are grounded in the Reformed Tradition- preserving the joy of Word and Sacrament and open to God’s transforming love.

As the Celtic Rune of Hospitality says, “ Often, often, often goes the Christ in the stranger’s guise.” Come as you are- wherever you are on your faith journey. You are welcome here.

Grace and peace be with you.

Rev. Donna Elia
Pastor
