We make our world just what we want it to be. We can have a
world where people are first, or we can have a world where
we put people at the tail end. It’s up to us, and it’s in our
power. – Anne Pearse Smith at age 88

Who We Are
Over the years, First Congregational United Church of Christ has had a distinctive call as a welcoming and forward thinking church. In many ways, our church has often been ahead of its times. In the 1950s, we became one of the first racially integrated churches in Vancouver. In 1973, we extended a call for Rev. Anne Smith, an ordained female minister, to serve as our associate pastor. And, in 1992, we became the first open and affirming church in Vancouver. Today, the unique calling of our church continues to be seen and felt every Sunday in our inclusiveness, our warm hospitality, and our progressive theological orientation.

The proceeds from this year’s Easter Lilies raised $1150 at First Congregational UCC. This will enable 23 orphans in Rwanda to attend elementary school by paying their tuition of $50. A special thanks to all those who contributed!
