Gathered in 1834, First Congregational Church has a long and valued history in Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley.

The Congregational Way

The Congregational Way is a way of following Christ. People of a Congregational Church do not seek to be led by a creed, but by the Spirit. Ours is the tradition of a free church, gathered under the headship of Christ and bound to others by love, not law.

The bedrock of the Congregational Way is not a creed.  It is a conviction that each local church is gathered as a covenant community.  A covenant is a promise.  In the church, we promise to embrace, encourage, and strengthen one another in our faith.

In the Congregational Way, we strive to balance our freedom with voluntary fellowship.

The foundational text of the Congregational Way is Matthew 18:20:  "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

Our Church's Covenant
 
In the Love of truth and in the Spirit of Jesus Christ, We Unite for the Worship of
