First Congregational Church of Camden

About this church

First Congregational Church of Camden gathers for worship on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at 55 Elm Street in Camden, Maine, and people can join in person or by Zoom (a link is requested through the website). The congregation is an Open and Affirming church of the United Church of Christ. Services blend traditional and contemporary music, shared prayers, and the reading and reflection on scripture, and communion is shared on the first Sunday of each month. Video recordings of Sunday services and many sermon texts are posted on the Sermons & Services page.

Children are welcome in worship, though the children's education program is in a period of transition, so families may want to check current offerings with the church office. After worship, volunteer teams serve coffee, tea, and food. Outreach includes the SOS Room, which gives away donated clothing and household goods on Tuesday mornings, the Shields Fund for local residents in financial crisis, and the Dove Tree holiday gift ministry. Other groups include a prayer circle, prayer shawl knitters, a Care Team, and Justice & Witness study and action groups. Cake & Community is a winter Friday lunchtime gathering in the Pilgrim Room. Bible studies, vespers, and free Friends of Music concerts appear on the events page. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; confirm times on the website.
