Devoted to Christ,
Committed to Each Other,
Dedicated to Sharing God’s Love with All!
Vision
We believe God has called us to:
Pursue the wholeness of life while sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all.
Be living examples of faith and love for our children and young people while encouraging their Christian development.
Be welcoming of all people.
Respond to others in ways that support their dignity and worth.
Assist our neighbors in times of trouble and hardship.
Be good stewards of the abundant resources of earth that God entrusts to us.
Value
We embrace the following values as guiding principles for our life together:
We are called to accept people just as they are without regard for race, culture, age or principle.
We value the dialogue and friendship between people of opposed perspectives.
We make every effort to allow all people to exercise their God-given spiritual gifts to the best of their ability.
We strive to maintain a high standard of excellence in all of our ministries.
We are dedicated to providing all people, through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word, the ability to follow Christ in every sphere of life.
We believe in the power of prayer, which underlies all of our ministries and activities.
We respect the traditions of our church, but are also committed to spiritual creativity and innovation that inspires the uniqueness and diversity of our congregation.
We recognize that the Bible is the basis of our faith and that living in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ is the true test of that faith.
We appreciate the multiplicity of thoughts, feelings and ideas in our church’s membership and make every effort to solve differences of opinion in ways that are personal and non-threatening.
We are united in striving to know the will of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures and in proclaiming the Gospel to all who will listen.
We attempt to live our lives in ways that exemplify God’s love within our church, our community and the world, and we make an effort to invite others to share the life of faith.
All are welcome here! No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome to be a part of First Congregational Church of Dundee, “The Church on the Hill.” From Mission to Worship Services, Music to Sunday School, whether you are a life-long Christian or are engaging your faith for the very first time, there is a place for you in this faith community!
