The First Congregational Church is "the Church on the Green" in Cheshire, Connecticut. For more than 275 years we have been, and we continue to be, a community devoted to serving God and the people of the world through the saving grace of Jesus Christ and the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

More than 800 people belong to the First Congregational Church. Most live in Cheshire, but others come to worship with us from Wallingford, Meriden, Prospect, Wolcott, Waterbury, Hamden and farther afield. We extend a warm welcome to everyone.

We have an active youth ministry, music ministry, Christian Education (Sunday school) program, opportunities for Bible study and adult education, program of outreach, and more. We are a very family-friendly church, and we welcome persons of all ages, races, genders, national origins, sexual orientations, abilities, and religious backgrounds.

We are a member of the United Church of Christ. People come to the First Congregational Church from a wide variety of religious traditions. About half of our new members were brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. We invite you to become part of this community, and to bring your special gifts to our important work.
