Organized in 1860 with sixteen charter members, First Congregational Church was the first house of worship erected in Saugatuck. Throughout the years, the one-room structure underwent many changes, but the original building still stands under the brick of the present chapel and classrooms. Our church on the hill, long known for its warm Christian fellowship, holds its doors open to all who seek the Lord and His son Jesus Christ.

We the people of First Congregational Church are a joyous people of all ages who celebrate God in vibrant, participatory worship through fervent prayer, zestful music, and the proclamation of the word. We are not afraid to take risks following Christ’s path.
We are involved in one another’s lives in a caring manner and provide support, understanding and encouragement through Christian fellowship. We welcome any and all people who care to join us.
We are committed to personal growth through high quality, challenging Christian Education programs.
We are a vital part of our communities and play an important role in their spiritual and social development.
