First Congregational Church is a Minneapolis congregation in the United Church of Christ denomination with a history dating to 1851. The church emphasizes scripture, shared prayer, worship, community care, justice concerns, and thoughtful engagement with difficult questions. Over more than 150 years, it has served parish, university, and community life, with noted strengths in preaching, education, outreach, music, and campus ministry. Its red sandstone Gothic-Romanesque building is recognized as a local example of the Akron-plan church, and the congregation formalized an ongoing commitment to inclusive language and imagery in worship during the 1970s.
