As a church community, we are called to care for others, locally, nationally and globally.

First Church is known as a caring community of faith that looks out for the needs of its members and other individuals and families of the local community. The Pastor and Deacons carry out a regular ministry of pastoral care and a number of individuals participate in a prayer ministry through our Prayer Circle.  

First Church maintains strong support of our church's wider mission through the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ (MACUCC), the Council of Churches of Greater Springfield and a number of other mission programs.   Click here for an explanation of one way that we support the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ.
