At the First Congregational Church of San Jose, we strive to offer you a place where you will feel entirely welcomed, no matter who you might be, or what life journey has brought you to our door. We hope you’ll join us for a worship service Sunday mornings at 10:00am. You can also can view a live stream of our services on Vimeo.
We are a member congregation of the United Church of Christ and, perhaps more importantly, we are an Open and Affirming church community. When we say that everyone is welcomed here, we really mean it. While we embrace a wide variety of beliefs in all aspects of our spiritual and community lives, we tend to be a progressive Christian community. Yet there are many who join us in our worship and mission lives who do not ascribe to this, or any, theological perspective. It makes for a very lively and intentional spiritual community, and one where, we trust, you might find a home.
Whether you join us for worship on Sunday mornings or for one of our many educational or community service opportunities, we will be so happy to make your acquaintance, and walk the path with you.
