First Congregational Church of Columbus
About Us
Our congregation has been in downtown Columbus "entering to worship and departing to serve" for 160 years! Together we come to serve God as a community of light and friendship - engaging in actions of worship, justice and mercy, kindness and care – seeking to make the love of God in Christ visible. We serve with joy, discovering more about God and one another as we grow in faith.
We invite you to be present at Sunday morning worship and education with us:
9 a.m. for our informal worship with communion in Parish Hall
11 a.m. in the Sanctuary for our traditional worship, choirs and organs.
Rev. Dan
We hope that you can join us at worship this Sunday. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. We would be pleased to have you join us in our journey of faith, walking together toward Christ’s birth.
