Welcome to The First Congregational Church in Hanson! We are a community of Faith, centered in Jesus Christ, in the tradition of our Pilgrim ancestors. As a Congregational Church, we believe the church exists in our coming together, in the Fellowship of Gathered Believers. It is in our coming together as church, that we recognize and experience our spiritual authority, “where two or three are gathered…” (Matthew 18:20)

As the Fellowship of Gathered Believers, we ARE church together, and guided by the Holy Scriptures, we govern ourselves as a faith community. We are under no other ecclesial authority, though we freely associate with other like-minded faith communities through our membership in the Massachusetts Association of Congregational Christian Churches (MACCC) and the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC). We find in the Bible, sufficient rule of faith and practice, by which we determine and govern our affairs.

As such, we are people of Covenant, in Congregationalism. Just as God made a covenant with Abraham, and His people, we covenant with God, with our church, and with one another. We promise to walk with one another, in faith, and in the Lord’s ways. We support, encourage, and love one another, and we learn together, growing in Christ.

This is our faith tradition, and we welcome you to share it with us. Our Sunday Worship is Bible based, with traditional and contemporary music, and there are ample opportunities for children to learn and grow in faith. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper, Communion, on the first Sunday each month, and the table is open to all who seek Christ. Join us! Whether you are new to the faith or a long-time believer looking for a new church home, you are welcome to walk together, in Covenant, with us, as we all seek the Lord Jesus Christ.

I invite you to join us Sunday morning at 10:00am, and please let me know you are visiting. I welcome the opportunity to greet you personally, and chat a bit about your faith journey, and whom it is that you seek. For we are seeking to know Jesus better, as well. Perhaps we can do so together, in fellowship.

May God bless you, 

Pastor TC
