Welcome to the First Congregational Church of Spencer !

     Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!  It is a great joy to welcome you to our website and internet ministry. Thank you for taking the time to visit us.  All of you are welcome to have a seat at our table and share in our ministry. Come just as you are, fearing not what you lack, but rather embrace what God offers you. We seek not conformity to mandates, but rather unity in Jesus Christ. We come from many backgrounds and places in life, and strive to embrace the future while cherishing the lessons and heritage that more than 260 years of ministry have enriched us with.

We are a part of the United Church of Christ (UCC), a Christian community that seeks to serve God, spread the Good News of Jesus Christ, and bring healing and justice to the world. That Good News is that God loves you, and seeks to have a real and personal relationship with you! In Jesus Christ, we have a common meeting place with God, and can rest assured that God knows exactly what it is like to be one of us. There is a place of hope, a place of rest, a place to refresh and again engage in life’s journey. We are also enriched when we dwell together in Christ’s grace. You will find a warm and loving congregation here, one that seeks to bring healing to the broken heart, comfort to the sick body, and peace to the mind. 

We talk about “kindling a new light on the hill, half way between the valley and stars.” The source of any light is a glowing energy, a power so hot that it produces heat and light that illuminates everything around it. There is a great energy in our congregation, that of the love of Jesus Christ flowing in everyone that gathers here. You can see and feel it in the people in the pews, at the pot luck suppers and youth group meetings, in the community services and the outreach of the economy shop, in the pins knocked down by the bowling league and the discourse in our Bible studies. FCC is a place that is alive and growing, glowing with the desire to serve Jesus Christ and love our community. We feel that the best way to thank God for the blessings that we have been given is to do our best to be a blessing to our community, our denomination and our world.

Please enjoy exploring our website. If you have any questions, would like more information, or a visit with the pastor, please feel free to call or e-mail us. Thank you again for visiting and may God bless you!
