As we make plans to sell our current building and move to a new home, First Congregational Church wants to honor our 157-year-old history and the foundation that it has given us. We hope to build on our past and continue to be a Christian presence in the Salt Lake Valley. We look forward to moving in new directions, free from the financial burdens and responsibilities a large building requires.
