God and First Church Welcome You |

We welcome all to worship with us. After service a social time for fellowship and refreshments is held in Ober Hall. First Church is located in the beautiful seacoast town of Kennebunkport in Southern Maine. Enjoy God’s love in action by visiting our worship service and getting to know us. Our church history started in 1730 when Kennebunkport was known as Arundel and part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Since then, the church was burned, rebuilt near its present location, and later moved to where it now stands. A group branched off and established a new church in the present center of Town. The oversized church was torn down and rebuilt smaller, and has since been enlarged. After 75 years with part time pastors we now have a outstanding full time pastor and we are experiencing growth. We hope that you will consider growing with us in fellowship, worship and faith. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH’S TAIZE SERVICE Rev. Derek White and members of the First Congregational Church of Kennebunkport, 141 North St., would like to welcome the public to the church’s Taize worship services to be held once a month on the first Wednesday of the month in the evening. Taize worship is a service or reflection and meditation grounded in the mystical tradition of the monastic community from Taize, France. One can experience the presence of the Creator with the silence that fills the spaces with the presence of the Divine. It is a simplistic candle light service for the soul looking to rest along life’s journey. All are welcome, come as you are.
