FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

South Haven, Michigan

We extend a heartfelt welcome to all who join us. Our community is guided by the voice of the Still Speaking God, and we invite you to open your heart to this divine presence.

At First Congregational Church, we are committed to fostering a loving and inclusive community of faith. We celebrate the diverse gifts that God has bestowed upon each of us and affirm that all people, as beloved children of God, are worthy of grace and love.

Embracing the words of Paul in Galatians 3:28, “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, male or female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus,” we proudly identify as an Open and Affirming Congregation. We welcome into the full life and ministry of our church:

  • People of every race and culture
  • All ages and generations
  • Every gender identity and expression
  • All sexual orientations
  • Individuals of all physical and mental abilities
  • People of all marital statuses
  • Those from diverse educational backgrounds
  • Individuals from all economic circumstances

We especially welcome those who have faced exclusion or discrimination in other religious communities or in society at large.

On November 15, 2020, First Congregational Church, UCC in South Haven, MI, officially embraced the “Open and Affirming” designation within our denomination. This affirms our commitment to recognizing the dignity of all people and our dedication to creating a truly inclusive spiritual home.

God is Still Speaking

“God is still speaking,” reminds us that God still has a lot more to say. Since 2004, Still speaking has worked with thousands of United Church of Christ churches and individuals across the country to make religion relevant again and to extend an extravagant welcome to all – because no matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome here. Here at the United Church of Christ.
