First Congregational United Church of Christ
Welcome to the online home of First Congregational United Church of Christ. We are located at 6494 Belsay Rd in Grand Blanc, Michigan, right at the corner of Belsay and Perry roads, not far from Atlas. Our church has been and continues to be a vital part of the community at large. Our faith practice is structured under the faith tradition of the United Church of Christ. We place Jesus Christ as the sole head of the Church and we strive to emulate his mission and ministry in this time and place.
As a practicing community of faith in the tradition of the United Church of Christ we look to the word of God in Scripture and pray as did Jesus:”…that they may all be one” (John 17:21). With Jesus Christ as the cornerstone and founder of our Church and the Holy Spirit in our midst, we believe that God has richly blessed us here. We praise and give thanks to God for his redeeming grace and mercy.
If you are looking for a Church home the people of First Congregational UCC will welcome you because no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
Come just as you are and receive the welcoming embrace of Christian fellowship. Our church is a warm and loving church, and we want you to feel comfortable and at liberty to call on us for anything you need. Feel free to browse through the various areas of our website and learn about our fellowship. If you are considering a new place of worship or a relocation to our area, we would love to have you join us. We have many members from Atlas, and all over Genesee County.

Our Theology
First Congregational United Church of Christ
The First Congregational United Church of Christ is a united and uniting church. We believe we are called to carry out Christ’s mission in the world today.
Wherever there are people without the Gospel, wherever there are people in need, wherever there is injustice, strife, hatred, and greed–there the First Congregational United Church of Christ is bound by the teachings of Jesus the Christ to bear witness, to serve, to help, to reconcile, to rebuild. We belong to Christ and we must follow where Christ leads.
The First Congregational United Church of Christ is a free church and a responsible church. No one dictates to a local church concerning the decisions it makes. Likewise, a local church cannot dictate to an association or any other part of the church the decisions made in each respective place. Local churches, associations, conferences and the General Synod, speak to one another and to the public but do not speak for one another. Freedom is guaranteed. But it is freedom in the Gospel and out of a sense of responsibility to the Church as a whole.
The First Congregational United Church of Christ is a church of the people. The church is not the clergy or organizations in the local, regional or national settings, nor the officers or boards or councils, though all these play their important and indispensable roles. The church is the people gathered for worship, work and witness in all these settings. The local and regional mission and the wider mission to the nation and the world through covenanted ministries of the denomination are made possible by the response of persons to the task and witness entrusted to us together as people of God.

Theology Taught at FCUCC
In worship, the reading and understanding of God’s holy word is at the heart of what we do together. We hold scriptural phrases in our hearts that hold our lives together.
