Mission Statement

The mission of First Congregational Church of Hamilton is to be a community of God's people who covenant, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to glorify God by acknowledging Him as sovereign and serving him in Hamilton and beyond.

This mission is accomplished by making our worship of God central to the life of the Church, believing and receiving his authoritative Word, and teaching it to all ages. We further covenant to pursue Christian maturity, to fellowship with one another, to reach out to those in physical and spiritual need and to live faithfully in the world as disciples of Christ.

Capturing this in a single phrase that easily conveys our ministry commitments, we affirm that we are a people who are... Exalting His Glory, Enjoying His Fellowship, Proclaiming His Name. We are people who intentionally have an upward focus (exalting his glory), an inward focus (enjoying his fellowship) and an outward focus (proclaiming his name).

We embrace the following unchanging core commitments that shape the contours of our ministry. We are...

A congregation delighting in Christ-centered worship
A congregation living by God's authoritative Word
A congregation developing opportunities for community
A congregation cultivating a life of prayer
A congregation communicating the gospel in word and confirming it in deed
