First Congregational Church of Anchorage

About this church

First Congregational Church of Anchorage gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 2610 E Northern Lights Blvd. The service is described as traditional and Christ-centered, lasting until about 11:30, with music, prayer, and a message aimed at everyday life. Communion is usually offered on the third Sunday of the month at an open table, and dress is casual but tidy. The congregation was founded in 1960, belongs to the NACCC, and identifies as Open and Affirming.

Sunday school classes for ages 6–12 and 13–18 meet during the service, and nursery care for children under five runs from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m.; visitors can check with an usher to confirm an attendant is on duty. Families may also keep children in the sanctuary, where a spot in the back has quiet toys. Coffee and snacks follow worship at 11:30. The church organizes its work through four ministries: worship, life and learning, outreach, and fellowship, and the events calendar lists regular ministry meetings and a weekday Soup Group. On-site parking is available, and ushers can help first-timers get oriented. Worship is livestreamed on YouTube, with an Online Sanctuary chat for prayer requests, and a Zoom Gathering Room hosts classes and groups during the week.
