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.
All through the month of August, we’ll be exploring who we are – what our identity is. Last week we looked at the various forces that shape and even cover up our identity with false selves. This week we’ll consider the importance of our belief that no two of us are alike, that we’re all created uniquely and with a particular skill set. Yet even in light of that belief, we so often assume that God wants us to be different than who we are. What if God wants us to be exactly who we are? Come and see!
Once again, we’ll be worshipping outdoors – weather permitting – in our newly renovated garden area under our sail tent. In case of inclement weather, worship will be inside our beautiful and historic 144-year old church – the oldest church in Charlevoix! Please bring a lawn chair and your favorite hot beverage, and we’ll see you Sunday at 10:30 am!
In case you are wondering who is welcome to be a part of our community, the answer is EVERYONE…NO EXCEPTIONS…PERIOD! We welcome all into our church home. Dress casually, and we will see you next Sunday. 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
If you can’t make it in person to worship with us in our beautiful 144 year old sanctuary, please join us for our live-streaming online worship each Sunday at 10:30 am
We need to know who you are and where you are. You have become such an important part of our family of faith that we really want to connect with you. More importantly, we want to be able to connect with each other as streaming participants. To make this happen, we need you to take two minutes right now and go to this link:
