“Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.”
-Matthew 10:40
The First Congregational Church of Wilmot, United Church of Christ, is an Open and Affirming, Racial Justice congregation, embracing diversity and affirming the dignity and worth of every person; for we are all created in God’s image.
We welcome into full membership and participation in the Body of Christ persons of every race, ethnic background, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, socio-economic background, marital status and faith tradition. We welcome all to share in the life, ministry, and activities of this family of faith. With the completion of our recent renovations, the church is fully accessible.
…and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
-Micah 6:8
