Ministry Description As an open and affirming church, The First Church of Monson would like to continue growing by welcoming all who seek spirituality and fellowship. Recently we have been seeing some younger people attending our services. There have been a couple of baptisms this spring, and the families continue to come to worship. This summer, we created a family friendly space with the service live streamed on a big screen tv in a room that allows little ones to move about. Our Sunday School is growing under the leadership of our dynamic Sunday School Superintendent. We seek to rejuvenate our Christian spirit, grow our church family, encourage more people to attend and participate, have more events that allow the church to connect with the community, and continue our outreach missions. Once a month, we have a fundraiser night in our local tavern. Many church members and friends meet on Tavern night to dine and enjoy each other’s company. We are seeking a pastoral leader, who will work with the congregation; create an uplifting worship experience that blends the Gospel, relevant life experience, and music; connect and have fun with the congregation; inspire young people; and actively participate in church and community events.
