Our Mission

Our purpose is to be a growing Christian community of faith, fellowship, and spirituality, leading through service and working for justice in our communities.

Who We are. What we Believe.

FCCN is a friendly, safe, inviting place to come and explore your faith.  As a congregation, we are many, trying, as best we can, to be one. 

We are seekers and searchers, travelers together on our faith journeys.

We are young. We are old.

We are mostly believers and sometimes doubters.

We come from many different traditions.

We believe in the ways that Jesus preached and we consider it our responsibility to help bring about these ways, not just in the sweet bye and bye, but very much in the here and now.

Our Open and Affirming Statement:

We of the First Congregational Church in Norwood, United Church of Christ (Link to UCC.org site), recognize the call of our living God to affirm the dignity of every person.  As a loving and caring faith community, we recognize that we are one body in Christ and are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.  In response to God’s call to be agents of justice, we welcome all individuals regardless of physical or mental ability, race, age, culture, family status, sexual orientation
or gender identity into the full life and community of our church.  By declaring ourselves
an open and affirming congregation, we celebrate the wide range of gifts found in a diverse community.  All members, officers, boards, and committees are encouraged to meet this
call in all of their actions.
