Organization Description:

This site is currently unavailable. First Church Somerville UCC is a dynamic urban congregation with a penchant for relevant 21st-century worship and faith formation. Our congregation is young (half our membership is under 35), mid-sized (130 members, average of 100 adults and 15 children in worship on Sundays) and diverse (working class, students and young professionals). We are an open and affirming church in the United Church of Christ, with a strong commitment to LGBT rights, immigration and other social justice issues; we love the arts and music and have a funky, fun sensibility. The congregation has a strong history of supporting field placement students and others preparing for the ministry.
