A Message of Welcome from Our Pastor

 

I am so delighted that you have found your way to First Congregational UCC’s website! On these pages, you will find a glimpse into the life of this congregation. You will learn something of the ministries and outreach of this family of faith, read about events in which you may participate, and find sermons to read . . . and much more.

 
But even better than the congregational life represented on these pages is the real day-to-day experience of the people of God who ARE First Congregational United Church of Christ in Eagle River, Wisconsin. If you don’t have a “home church” right now, or are searching for what it might mean for you to become a follower and disciple of Jesus Christ, I invite you to consider finding your church home or your place of exploring discipleship right here.

 
The people of First Congregational UCC are a warm, inviting, caring and serving people. Throughout our 120-year history in this community, First Congregational UCC has been known as open, diverse, inclusive and involved. Our members and friends serve this community in professional and volunteer capacities. We do not all “believe the same thing”, but believe that Jesus Christ calls us together in our diversity and differences, and it is Christ who is honored and glorified through our common worship and service. So, wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!

 
Our church building is also home to many community groups and services such as the Humpty Dumpty Pre-School, Nicolet College continuing education classes, Alcoholics Anonymous, Ecumenical Flower Ministry, Victim Impact, violin lessons, individual Spiritual Direction and more. The halls are filled with the music of our own Senior Choir,Tone Chime Choir, the Contemporary Worship Praise Team, and the ecumenical / community Cantata Choir at Christmas. 

 


We believe that God offers us an extravagant welcome, and so we offer God’s extravagant welcome to all who seek to learn more of God, and who wish to reflect the grace of God through Christ to the world. “God is still speaking,” so we believe it is our task to prayerfully discern how God would speak to and through us today. Then, we dare to live out God’s call in our lives.


Won’t you join us in this holy venture?

Blessings,
Patricia M. Tucker, pastor
