Our Church
First Central Congregational Church is an inclusive faith community, cherishing diversity, social justice, and freedom of thought. We strive to live our faith by extending Christ’s love to all, and enthusiastically welcoming everyone to our progressive congregation. (Identity Statement, 11-28-2006)
First Central has a busy Sunday morning schedule, with worship, ministry, and education opportunities for children and adults. We are an open and affirming church.
In our ongoing quest for hearts that open, minds that understand, and lives that serve, we welcome into our fellowship, membership, leadership, and employment, all people, regardless of abilities, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any God-given characteristic. (Open & Affirming Statement, 1-30-2005)
We are a member church of Connections, a coalition of progressive Christian congregations who together and separately:
- Reclaim thoughtful dialogue
- Reject divisive dogmatism
- Renew spiritual vitality
- Respond with justice and mercy
- Rejoice in inclusive community
We are also a part of the Nebraska Conference of The United Church of Christ.
