About First Congregational Church
First Congregational United Church of Christ in Hastings has welcomed the community for over 140 years since its founding in 1879. This congregation embraces people from all walks of life—believers and questioners, LGBTQ individuals, and those from diverse backgrounds and faith perspectives—and emphasizes that whoever you are and wherever you are on your life's journey, you are welcome. The church understands itself not simply as a building but as the living, breathing manifestation of Christ's body, expressing faith through active service: providing meals for voters, backpacks for children, and open arms for those who struggle. With a rich musical tradition anchored by organist Kathy and choir director Deb, the congregation gathers for worship and engages in numerous ministries including faith in action, global mission work, PFLAG support, Red Cross blood drives, and monthly cooking classes. The church invites both in-person and remote worship participation, fostering spiritual growth and genuine Christian community.
