Our church community seeks to embody God’s Spirit and live the teachings of Jesus. We offer a sense of belonging to each other and all of our neighbors, as we build a just and sustainable world for all.
We are proud to be one of the only Open & Affirming churches in Northern Michigan. ALL are welcome here!
Here is a video which is an excellent example of what we do here at 1st Congregational.
This Sunday marks the beginning of a new series entitled “Struggling with Sin.” The way we Christians have come to understand sin and salvation has been a struggle for a growing number of people both in and out of the Christian church. Things like Jesus “dying for our sins” or offering a “blood sacrifice” to pay for our wrongs are very troubling concepts. Then there is the whole matter of “original sin” – some sort of hereditary evil that gets passed down from generation to generation. What sense are we to make of all this in 2026? We will be facing these questions head-on during the 5 Sundays in May. You won’t want to miss any of the episodes in this exciting series.
We meet at 10:30 am at 101 State Street at the church with the purple doors, just one block from the bridge in Charlevoix. In case you are wondering who is welcome to be a part of our community, the answer is EVERYONE…NO EXCEPTIONS…PERIOD! We are an Open and Affirming church. See you Sunday, and if you can’t make it in person, check out our livestream at your convenience at www.chxucc.org under Online Worship.
Please check out Toby’s podcast on Spotify. It’s called “Toby’s Take.” Give him 10 minutes, and he’ll give you a whole new way of looking at things. Check out the link here: Toby’s Take
