First UCC Richmond

First UCC Richmond welcomes you to our community!

Our family of faith has been worshiping in this space for over 50 years.

Our mission is to serve you. We don’t know what brought you here, but we hope to keep you coming back by giving you exactly what you need right when you need it.

There will be times when you know what you need. There will be other times when you don’t know what you need, but you know you need something. Whatever you are facing in your life, we are here for you.

First UCC isn’t just a website. It’s a community, a movement, a group of people much like yourself who are trying to make sense of life and live the best life they can.

You will quickly discover that we are different. When you connect with us, we will get back to you. We are passionate about helping you take the next step in your journey. We will try to be helpful and hopeful.

Help and hope. Everyone needs a little of each. That’s why we try to make everything we do here helpful and hopeful.

It may sound simple, but they say genius is taking something complex and making it simple. You will discover that IF you listen to the daily audio messages. The invite is there also, if you have a special prayer or meditation please share.

You see, we started with a dream: to help ordinary people discover the genius in loving ones self in order to love others.

If you discovered us via facebook, you know that we encourage participation from wherever you are. If you are musical, make a video and send it on, and we will fit it into a weekend when the content goes with the readings. If it is classical music on an instrument we can add it to our prelude, interlude or postlude. If you are a family that sings and have a favorite Gospel song or contemporary religious song send to daileystory@gmail.com and identify who you are and where you live.

The United Church of Christ believes in extravagant welcome. This is why we accept that God’s communion table is open, not closed, and God’s gift and claim in baptism are irrevocable. We advocate justice for all. Our congregations extend hospitality as a sign of God’s inclusive love. We teach that evangelism—offering bread to those in search of it—is God’s mission. Our perspective is global, not provincial. We work with—not against—people of other faiths. Why?

Because God is still speaking.
