ABOUT MURPHYS FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
First Congregational Church is a congregation of the Northern California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ. As a member church of that denomination, we are self-governing, with a deep sense of responsibility to minister to our own people, the community and the world.
We are a diverse group of Christian people who in most instances have moved here from many different places. Young, old, and in-between, there is a high degree of diversity in our congregation, welcoming persons of many different church backgrounds and ideas about God. We subscribe to the idea of "in essentials - unity, in non-essentials - liberty, in all things - charity." This allows an atmosphere where we can all grow together spiritually.
We strive to be a friendly, caring church where people can come to seek and find the love of God amid a community of neighbors and friends.
