The church has a long standing philosophy that all are welcome.
The community of the First Congregational Church of Wallingford has been on a faith-filled journey to discover God's call for our church in this place and time, based on the scripture from Jeremiah 29:10, "I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a future with hope." Our renewed Vision and Mission will serve as inspiration and guidepost for our decisions and actions moving forward.
