Today, we work together as a small group/church, living our faith and spirituality through our shared good works and missions, to the best of our abilities.
We really try to live out the words that we formally adopted as our churches mission statement in 2018 but have lived them since the beginning of our church in 1827. It starts with the following statement:
“No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”
Our Mission Statement
“We the First Congregational Church of East Longmeadow, U.C.C., in response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, strive to be a welcoming community. As an Open and Affirming Church, we accept all people into our faith community, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, physical and mental abilities, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression. We affirm the rights of all persons, just as Jesus affirmed the dignity of every human being as a child of God. Each person is invited and encouraged to participate in all aspects of our church life and ministry and to share in God’s love”. Adopted 1/7/2018
How do we put our words into action?
At FCC, we show our love towards each other and our wider community through our actions. We care for each other in a genuine way as we share the many blessings that we have been given with others.
