Whenever we serve others, we realize we are really the ones being served.  First Church has a heart for service, justice, and outreach and is involved with a number of programs and on-going service projects
as well as one time outings. 

Family Promise

First Church partners with North Shore Boston Family Promise 
to help homeless families get housed.

"Ending family homelessness on the North Shore, one family at a time."
