About Our Church

  • We are a welcoming people, a church that reaches out to invite and include persons of every age, tongue, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and religious background.

  • We are a people of hope, who reach out with a radical openness to the diversity of God’s gifts. In this spirit, we seek to reconcile with those who have been condemned and injured not only by the Church but also by society and stand with them in their struggle for equality and justice.

History

First Congregational Church was founded in 1880 and the first meetings were held in a small adobe room in Old Town. The church occupied a series of buildings in the downtown area until 1947. As the City of Albuquerque expanded towards the mountains the decision was made to follow this expansion and the church moved to its current location.
