Our Church
About Us
From our early Congregational roots in the eastern United States to our Midwest community, our growing church began in a small private home by several early Allegan community families. Over 150 years later it is still growing. We welcome you to come and worship with us. You don't need an invitation as our doors are open to everyone.

F.C.C. STATEMENT OF FAITH:
- We believe in God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the creator, preserver, and governor of the universe, the maker of our bodies and father of our spirits.
- We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, reveal to us the will of God and are the only sufficient rule of faith and practice.
- We believe that repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ are the only conditions of salvation, and that all who comply with these conditions will be accepted by God and enter the eternal life.
- We believe that a life lived in accordance with this profession will follow, as God promises to sanctify His holy people.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and that every one must stand before the judgement seat of God, and receive for the deeds done in the body, whether they are good or evil.
- We believe in the union of Christians into a visible church organization, and we esteem it an important thing that the disciples of Christ should make a public profession of faith in the Lord, and should give expression of a purpose to live in accordance with his teaching, so that all may know that they are His friends and followers.
- In this faith we are banded together as a company of Christian workers, having in view our own spiritual growth and the salvation of our fellow men.
