Experience the Sacred ... Make a Difference

"First Congregational Church of Redwood City, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming congregation. All who desire to share their faith journey are invited to participate fully in the life and ministry of this church. First Congregational Church welcomes people of every age, gender, ethnicity or tradition, marital or family status, of all sexual orientations and gender identities (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning), and those of all abilities and backgrounds. In all your diversity, visible and invisible, we affirm who you are and that you are beloved of God."

We are a progressive Christian community, committed to celebrating the extravagant welcome of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ through words and deeds. God, who continues to speak new truth in our lives today, affirms all of humanity. 1st Congregational Church provides a human extension of that affirmation to people seeking to build a personal relationship with God.

We revel in the awareness that human diversity is itself one of God’s greatest miracles. Each individual adds a unique and valuable contribution to the living body of Christ that is the mission and ministry of 1st Congregational Church of Redwood City. We want every person to know that they will be appreciated in our midst. Wherever you are on your spiritual path, come walk with us.
