Samaritan Counseling Center of the Fox Valley

To be an expression of God's love, facilitating emotional healing for women, men and youth -- regardless of financial status or faith background -- so that they may develop more fully their relationships with self, others and God.

First Congregational was instrumental in beginning this ministry 40 years ago and continues to support it as a Primary Mission Partner. We have offered budgetary financial help to the Center for general needs, as well as for the Samaritan Fund, which subsidizes counseling for low-income and uninsured clients. We also have members who serve on the Board of Directors and other committees.
