First Congregational Church

About this church

First Congregational Church in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, is a United Church of Christ congregation that gathers for worship every Sunday at 10 a.m. at 1548 Hopkinton Road. Scripture and the sermon are central to the service, which opens with a prelude and closes with a postlude. Hymns come from the Chalice Hymnal and Pilgrim Hymnal, and the Chancel Choir offers an anthem most weeks. Most services include a children's message near the start, after which the children go to Sunday School classes in the Parish House. Afterward, a fellowship hour with refreshments is held in the Parish House, moving out to the lawn in summer or when the weather is nice.

Church school and childcare are available during worship from infants through eighth grade during the school year, and Waffle Church for children is held on the first Sunday of each month. A junior high group (grades 5-8) meets monthly, and a senior high group (grades 9-12) takes two service trips a year that are open to non-members. The Chancel Choir is a non-audition group that rehearses Wednesday evenings from September through June, and a bell choir and sacred dance also take part in worship. The church hosts families through Family Promise in its Parish House. The office is open weekdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The church and Parish House sit on Route 103 near the village center.
