About Us
You will find that First Congregational Church is a place for worship, study, spiritual search, unconditional acceptance and a new perspective for all people. Our diverse, interdenominational congregation welcomes all individuals.
There are places to deepen your understanding of God, self, and spiritual disciplines; there are places to get to know others more deeply; and there are places to serve.
If you are seeking a church home, come and worship with us and meet faces that are eager to meet you. Visitors and their families are always welcome and encouraged to participate in any of our programs, special events, youth activities and worship services.
Whether you are a life-long resident of River Falls, just moved here or are passing through, you are welcome here.
