Old South
First Congregational Church of Farmington
United Church of Christ
We serve.
As people who long to follow the way of Jesus, we strive to show love as Jesus did: reaching out to the lost, the lonely, and the "least of these." Our members support important justice work around the world with their time, efforts, and money. We also engage in this work together, as a congregation. And when we engage in service, we find ourselves more grateful and more spiritually alive than we ever expected.
Community Luncheon
We serve a delicious free luncheon for our neighbors the third Saturday of each month, October through June. Volunteers and helpers warmly invited to lend a hand!

We are passionate about sustainability and bringing
more public attention to the critical issue of climate change. We understand ourselves

issues and climate change mitigation. We strive toward making our building more
energy-efficient and sustainable.
