We only started going here a few months ago, but so far I really like it. Darcy and Bob, the pastors, have a knack for grounding the weekly message in real life. To me this makes it infinitely more valuable. The people at FCC have been welcoming without being suffocating. They let us explore the church on our own without sticking a name tag on us and making us be fake-chatty-friendly, or feeling pressured into attending events. Other people may feel differently, but I think it's important to allow people time to get to know a church, know some people there, see the kinds of activities that are going on there, listen to what's being said on Sundays. I think it lets them connect on a more meaningful level when/if they do decide to make it their church home or to become a member. Also, 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. Another thing I like is that they pass the offering basket at the beginning of the service. This lets people give what they're going to give without working them into a froth of emotions (or, guilt, or whatever) in the service. There's no game playing. Finally, the music - I love the 10 am music. Lots of centuries-old hymns with heavy Euro-beats. Fantastic. And let's give it up for the holiday handchimes, woot!

I've been going to this event since 2019 because of my childhood friend Sophia and her mother, but this year was the first time I truly felt how unwelcome I was. As a 16-year-old girl of color in a space that is overwhelmingly white, I felt singled out in ways that were disturbing. An older man kept walking past and watching my sister and me, which made me feel unsafe. In prayer group, people stared at us with hostility, and no one would speak to us. Pastor Paul later spoke to my dad in a way that, in my opinion, misrepresented our behavior -- as if we were troublemakers -- even though we hadn't done anything wrong. It felt like we were being targeted simply because we looked different. This wasn't the first time my family has felt dismissed here. A couple of years ago, my sister told me she discovered her name was on a list made by teen boys at the church ranking girls sexually. When she reported it, the adults blamed her clothing instead of protecting her. Hearing "boys will be boys" while her pain was brushed aside showed me that this environment excuses bad behavior from some, while treating others -- especially girls, and especially girls of color -- as outsiders. I left camp feeling shaken, unwelcome, and judged for nothing more than my race and appearance. If you are a person of color or a young woman, I would not recommend this church. I do not believe your safety or your voice will be respected here.

What brings them together is the UU 7 principles-- respecting the inherent worth and dignity of every person; acceptance of one another and encouragment of spiritual growth; promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning--- Just to name a few. It is a community that is open hearted and thoughtful in its approach to living its values through social justice engagement. Very dynamic and loving place!

The people I've met from here, both in the church and out in the community, are always kind, friendly and happy to talk about what they love about the church and their beliefs.

The bride kept it together and stayed clam but it was appalling that the photographers were told they were unable to take photos of the bride and her father walking down the aisle. For this reason alone, I would NEVER recommend getting married here. Definitely personal preference, but come on - give the bride some warning beforehand!!

Congregation members as friendly as before; fairly diverse racial makeup for a church that has historically reflected a predominantly African American congregation. Definitively a plus to have a women (pastor's wife) preaching at yesterday's service, though I'll confess I had some difficulty following her sermon - perhaps my fault since we arrived late. We might have arrived in time had the accurate time been posted on church website (website indicated service begins at 10:45am but it began at 10:00am for this 5th Sunday). Overall, as good start to a return on an old favorite place to worship. Hopefully some of the old snippy, closed, clique like behavior has dissipated, but may take time to tell. Looking forward to spending more time here and giving it another try.
