Welcome, Friends!
First Congregational Church of Long Beach, United Church of Christ, is a community of seekers, covenanting to support and care for each other as we explore what it means to be people of faith. We embrace a liberal theology and we are deeply committed to social justice – working to bring about God’s realm of peace, love and goodwill to our world. We have also dedicated ourselves to building an outstanding education program, where learners of all ages can explore God’s presence in their lives and what it means to be a person of faith. We also celebrate our diversity, welcoming and affirming folks from all walks of life and from varied life experiences.
We meet together every Sunday at 10 am for a service of celebration, and there are many opportunities for learning, service and play. Please feel free to contact us for more information or if you have any questions.
Please join us this Sunday!
