About Us

First Church is a progressive and spirited historic church in the thriving riverfront community of Middletown, CT. Our core values consist of curiosity, courage, compassion and connection. We have deep roots in the community and we are always seeking new ways to connect.

As a Congregational Church, First Church is governed locally by its members, assembled in a Congregational Meeting. The Executive Committee acts for the congregation between congregational meetings. We have lots of ways for you to get involved, including small groups, Bible studies, fellowship outings and activities, outreach programs and service projects, music groups, and much more!

First Church is a member of the United Church of Christ in the Southern New England Conference. We are a theologically “liberal” church, meaning that we interpret scripture in a spiritual or non-literal way. The individual members of our congregation come from a variety of religious backgrounds, including no prior religious background.
