First Congregational Church

About this church

First Congregational Church of Anoka follows a seasonal Sunday schedule. Its current summer service meets at 10:00 a.m. with coffee hour at 9:00; from the Sunday after Labor Day through spring, worship is offered at 8:30 and 10:30, with the later service livestreamed. Nursery care and faith formation are available with the later service, and children begin in the sanctuary before choosing Sunday School after the children’s time. The nursery serves children through age three and is staffed by a certified childcare professional.

This United Church of Christ congregation is Open and Affirming and explicitly welcomes participation across sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ability, family structure, and belief. Founded in 1855, it identifies itself as Anoka County’s first church. Current community relationships include a food shelf, domestic-violence services, youth-homelessness support, Meals on Wheels, and an emergency shelter. The church also hosts recovery and grief-support groups. For visitors, Anoka UCC combines a carefully explained seasonal schedule with historic local roots, supervised care for young children, an expansive public welcome, and multiple partnerships addressing concrete needs around Anoka County.
