The Church of the Open Door
Our Church's Wider Mission -- OCWM
It is “Who We Are” and what we do together in all settings of our United Church of Christ to keep the church strong, to extend the ministry of all local churches, and be a resource in developing our own ministries.
First Congregational partners with various local, national and international mission projects. As part of the wider body of the United Church of Christ, Global Ministries provides our critical presence in 70 countries of the world through over 270 local partnering churches and organizations. Read blogs from several of our missionaries and share your thoughts or questions with them at this link: globalministries.org/mission/mission-personnel-blogs.html. Find out more about Global Ministries’ presence in the world at their home web site: www.globalministries.org
First Congregational is also in covenanted relationships with the 5,800+ churches of the UCC through our association, conference and the national setting. OCWM provides the critical financial underpinning to sustain these relationships.
