We have found FCC to be an oasis in a desert of rigid religiosity, a spiritual community that respects seekers by not patronizing them with ready-made answers, a church that understands christianity as a finger pointing at the moon, not the moon itself.

I moved to Houston seeking to join a church to find community and build connections. After attending my first service at FCC, I felt “at home” and this was the congregation I had been seeking. FCC is a place that is welcoming with open arms, socially active in the community, and encourages us to grow in faith wherever we are on our faith journey.

First Congregational Church is a special place for me and my family where we find sanctuary and community alongside others who are seeking to follow Jesus’ teachings in a complicated world. FCC offers space for reflection and renewal with like-minded pilgrims on a spiritual journey through worship that is truly a shared, communal experience of singing, praying, listening and introspection.
