First Trinitarian Congregational Church is a long name with a lot of history! Centuries ago, there was one church in each town. FTCC dates back to 1634 and was once affiliated with what is now the Unitarian Universalist Church. At one time, they (together) were the first church in town. A disagreement about beliefs led to a split and one church became the First Parish Unitarian (signifying one single God , while FTCC became the First Trinitarian (signaling Father, Son, and Spirit). Congregational is one ‘brand’ of church and the Congregational Church merged with three other denominations in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ (UCC), of which FTCC is a member. Our governance is congregational (small ‘c’), meaning that here, the power flows up from the local congregation to the national denomination. While some churches have headquarters that dictate policies and procedures, in the UCC, we are autonomous while still be in covenantal relationship with each other church and the entire denomination. We own our property and hire our staff.
