Who We Are . . .

First Congregational UCC is a welcoming congregation of the United Church of Christ. 

 The Congregational Church has been in Elkhart since 1844.  At that time, it shared facilities and the name with a Presbyterian church.  In 1871, it took on its own identity as the First Congregational Church.  Since 1957, it has been part of the United Church of Christ when that denomination was formed.  Throughout that time, it has always been a "family of faith."  There is a lot of history in this church, but the most important part to many is the family aspect of the church.  Family means that all are accepted in spite of  foibles and faults.  It does not mean that there aren't family squabbles and occasional problems, but for the most part, the church has pulled together for the greater good--staying always focused on "the main thing"--Jesus our Christ.
 
The past year or more has seen considerable change and growth in our attendance and membership.  If you are looking for a church home, come worship with us!
