Who We Are

First Church in Wenham is affiliated with the United Church of Christ; our roots are Congregational. We are a family of some 625 adults and many children gathered to worship and serve God, to grow together, and to share friendship and fellowship. We have come to First Church from many backgrounds and traditions; diversity and inclusiveness are celebrated in this Church family. As a landmark in the center of town for more than 355 years, we reach out to the community and the world in service, ministry, and care. Please let us know if you would like to receive our monthly newsletter. To know more about the church, please ask and we can direct you to someone who can help, or you may call the church office at (978) 468-4900.

Worship

Coming together for worship is of prime importance in our life as a church. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we celebrate the bounty of God's love and the presence of Jesus Christ in the life of the world. Worship - 10 a.m. (9:30 a.m. July and August) Church School - 10 a.m., except for July and August. Our Sunday Worship Service can be seen on local television on Sundays, at noon (previous week's service) and Wednesdays at 10:30 am and 7:00 pm. Church Members: If you miss the telecast or wish to see a particular service a second time, contact the Church Office (978-468-4900) to borrow the tape. We share communion on the first Sunday of each month; all persons are welcome to participate in communion.

Our Mission

“The Mission of our Church is to proclaim and celebrate the Good News of God, to foster love and reinforce feelings of self-worth for all people, and to grow together as the ‘Body of Christ,’ each of us combining our talents with others.”
