First Congregational Church Christmas Devotional
If you have not had a chance to pick up our Christmas Devotional which was written by Matthew Nelson, you can still access it through this link. This devotional has beautiful meditations for the days between the Fourth Advent Sunday and Epiphany. Because their themes are not limited to the Christmas season you can read and reflect on them throughout the year as well.
Safe Camp
Safe Camp is the original location of the SafePlace program - a project of Unity Shelter that assists individuals, couples, and families in housing transitions by providing safe, temporary housing coupled with case management, and/or peer support services.

A Message From Our Pastor
First Congregational is a Just Peace, inclusive community of Christian faith in Corvallis. We're a church where all are welcome - and where ‘all’ really does mean all. We are real people who care about nurturing love and belonging in the world, most often in the context of Christianity. We worship with tradition and innovation, weaving our liturgies and stories together every Sunday morning. We tell stories from the Bible and our lives, knowing that every story is a holy one.
If you are looking for a faith community to call home, we would love to meet you!
Pastor Jennifer Butler
