First Congregational UCC is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC). Founded in 1879, our congregation has been involved in the life of Hastings residents for over 140 years.

We believe the Church is not merely a brick & mortar place we go on Sunday morning, but rather it is the living, breathing manifestation of Christ's Body — so that we all are the hands and feet of God. Whether it's providing meals for voters, backpacks for kids, or open arms for the struggling, we try to make our faith a verb that shows God's love.

Our congregation includes people of all faith backgrounds - and no background at all! Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life's faith journey, you are welcome at FCUCC.

Whoever you are,
