Ministry Description |
The First Congregational Church of Canton Center is a beautiful church with a long history of faith and fellowship and a contemporary spirit. Surrounded by fields and historic homes that echo a time when farming was the occupation of much of the congregation, the church is looking to the future with the help of new technology and skills of the congregation. Canton is a suburban area that retains its small town feel and has many recreational and cultural opportunities. Our Missions and Outreach Committee oversees support for a wide variety of missions from a local all the way to a global level. Please see response below to question 3b for greater detail. Church pot luck suppers and events like the annual Strawberry Festival and Chicken Pie Dinner attract church members and a large number from the local community who look forward to them every year. We have thus earned the nickname “the church of the second helping”. People would describe fellow church members as their “church family” and are happy and eager to welcome new members. Membership is open to all and the church is Open and Affirming. We are currently seeking an interim pastor due to the retirement of our minister. We are looking for someone to help us through the process of finding a settled pastor, while undertaking the ministerial responsibilities of the church, maintaining pastoral care, and helping the church leadership devise ways of attracting new families in order to continue the work of the church. |
