Support When You Need It Most

Our Care Team is Here for You

A church is its people. First Congregational Church is committed to meeting the spiritual and emotional needs of our congregation, as much as our resources allow.

About Pastoral Care

First Church believes in being the “stretcher bearer” for those challenging seasons when we need each other most. 

Rooted in faith and guided by love, our ministers and lay-led care team provide spiritual guidance, emotional care, and practical assistance. Through visits, prayers, and presence, we strive to reflect God’s love and grace by walking alongside one another in life’s joys and struggles.

Prayer Ministry

Sometimes what you need is someone to pray with you, to listen, and to hold space for what you are experiencing.

Visits and Connection

Through visits at home, or in the 
hospital, support groups, and phone calls, our ministers and lay care team provide a caring presence.

Support

Sometimes you just need an extra hand. Our care team helps organize meal trains, emergency assistance, and rides to and from important appointments.
