I really love the retreats. It lets me take 22 hours out of my week for a stress free, fun-filled time.

Henry Huang

I never feel judged here based on how often I attend, how much I participate, how I look, etc. That’s important to me. Those with an intellectual bent and a critical mind will not feel out of place at FCC. My initial impression is that this is a thinking person’s church

Bill Cron

I was so blessed as I worshipped here recently. The gift of music was expressed in such a beautiful way and the Holy Spirit was so present. If I lived in the area this is where I would worship and fellowship with the family of God. The Pastors teach and preach from the scriptures with passion , love and truth.Thank you for Blessing me and making me feel loved and welcome. Praise God.

About Us

On March 23, 1847 there was a group of 48 Christians whose strong opposition to slavery set them apart in their church missions. Believing that God created all equally and that all are seekers and not holders of truth, they founded The First Congregational Church of Ann Arbor. Following their legacy, our mission is to be a beacon of God’s love, hope and Christian freedom.
