In this increasingly confused and chaotic world, First Church offers a quiet sanctuary for reflection, devotion, learning and service  - a place to find your spiritual bearings, a place that strives to bring Christ’s shared affections to all of life.

When recently asked, our membership described First Church this way: "strong mission outreach," "wonderful music," "committed pastoral care" and "dedicated lay leadership."  Our ministries are indeed as rich and varied as is our membership.

We hope you will take the time to view our website carefully and that you might join us for worship.  We will welcome you from the heart, even as we pray your experience amongst us is one of meaningful, hope-filled, Christ-centered love.

 Rev. Thomas C. Leinbach, Pastor




After 109 years our stained glass windows are removed for much needed restoration. 

 

The Stained Glass Windows at First Church were removed on Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 and placed in capable hands.  We will miss them during the next 6 or so months, but know we will enjoy them that much more once they are returned in all their original glory.  It was quite an event.  More pictures on the Photo Page.










First Church members and friends attend the annual Boar's Head Festival at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Springfield, MA.  The beautiful 2 hour pagent and worship service re-enacts the story of the birth of Christ.  Following the service members enjoyed fellowship and dinner at the Student Prince Restaurant.
