Seeking to engage all people in the loving spirit of the living Christ.
Founded in 1842, the First Congregational Church serves Crystal Lake and the surrounding communities. FCC is a place of creative and warm energy where people gather for spiritual growth, fellowship and to make the world a better place.We are Christian but not creedal. Independent thinking is encouraged. We seek to integrate head, heart and hand into a meaningful faith for today.
FCC is affiliated with the United Church of Christ. Throughout our history, we have engaged in such causes as women's rights, abolishing slavery, civil rights, and social justice. We participate in ministries of compassion, advocacy, and reconciliation. We are committed to interfaith cooperation and dialogue.
We support many busy programs, such as Christian Education for all ages and a Music program with six vocal choirs (pre-school through adult) and five handbell choirs (4th grade through adult). The entire church facility is accessible for people with physical disabilities, and available for use by the larger community. Our outreach to the world is diverse and wide-ranging.
The philosophy of FCC focuses on cultivating loving relationships with both God and with the human family. We welcome all ages and stages of life and provide an encouraging, educational, sharing, and nurturing environment. Each spiritual journey is encouraged and supported. Whoever you are, and where ever you are on life's journey, you're welcomed here!
We are an ever-journeying people of God who join our hearts, heads, and hands through: embracing, accepting, and including all; connecting through shared expressions of worship with relevant messages, music, and prayer; expressing our faith through inspirational music with a commitment to lifelong musical learning; engaging in Christian Education and meaningful spiritual exploration for children, youth, and adults; serving generously with our time, talent, and treasure; caring for each other, our community, nation, and world, and; uniting in food, fun, and fellowship.
We are an Open and Affirming, Accessible, and Stephen Ministry Supported Congregation of the United Church of Christ.
