First Congregational Church
of Braintree

"300 years...and still faithful"

You’ll find that in this church we cherish God’s Word as a “lamp to our feet and a light to our path” (Psalm 119:105).  We are so glad that you are visiting our website today.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy your trip around our site.  We hope that God will move you to share your spiritual journey further by worshipping with us on Sunday mornings.   ___________________________________________________________________________________

Join us for a special OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, September 21! 

Friends, neighbors, and relatives are cordially welcome to explore First Congregational Church of Braintree as a possible spiritual home during an Open House on Sunday, September 21 at 9:30 a.m. First Church believes in Jesus Christ, and shares Christian values to experience God's love as well as to learn more about Him.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet and talk with members, explore the beautiful building, and hear about all the wide range of programs at the church which includes a Sunday School for children ages 4-10, a Nursery for infants and toddlers, a Youth Fellowship for teens aged 11-18, and Bible Study for adults. 

Sunday School begins that day, too.  Come have your children or grandchildren read Bible stories and prayers, and learn music and crafts to enhance the lessons.  An atmosphere of fun, safety, and acceptance prevails.  The Nursery program -- for infants through 3 years-old -- is a great environment for very young children.  All adults who work with youth are CORI-trained and certified.  Most importantly, the teachers are committed to sharing God's love.

Each visitor will receive a balloon, and is invited to enjoy a special cake afterwards.
