What to Expect
First, come as you are.
We are a theologically progressive congregation who responds to God’s call for social justice.
Open & Affirming
First Church Williamstown is an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation, which is an earned designation in the United Church of Christ, meaning that our welcome to LGBTQIA+ people includes our worship service and all aspects of our congregational life.
Choir
Our choir sings almost every Sunday from September to June. Occasionally, we have a pick-up choir for people who love to sing, but cannot rehearse every week. Learn more about Music at First Church.
Room for Fun
Though we have a traditional worship service on most Sundays, we like to have fun with worship, too. We do this with different forms of worship, such as breakfast church, from time to time. By worshiping outside of our sanctuary, we create different worship experiences.
Children
We provide nursery care and faith formation lessons for children. As we don’t have many children among us, they receive attentive instruction, which enables them to ask their own questions. Learn more about Families at First Church.
Online Worship
Join us live on our YouTube channel when we worship in our sanctuary.
What Should I Wear?
We really mean it — “come as you are” — because God is happy you’re here.
No need to wear a jacket and tie. No need to wear a dress. Wear what is comfortable for you. If that means jeans and a flannel shirt, that’s fine.
