Family Fun Feasts!
We meet the second Friday of each month to hear a bible story, share a meal, and wonder about how God is working in our lives.
These events are designed to work best for families with children from 3 years old to 8th grade, but are open to all families.
Confirmation meets most Sundays from Noon-1:30pm
If your family has a faith need the church can meet, please contact Pastor Michelle. We know this is a challenging time to be a parent and we want to be as supportive as we can, but we are all learning as we go. Your need might just point to the thing the church can be doing right now to provide spiritual support to others as well.

FCUCC Programs for Children and Youth
The pandemic has changed many of these programs. Please be patient with us and call Pastor Michelle if you have questions.
Nursery Care- for children up to age 3. Families are welcome to drop their young children off in the nursery or bring them into worship for all or part of the service. We encourage each family to do what is most comfortable for your family. Like many employers, we sometimes don't have 2 care providers. When this happens, the one care provider can sit with you in church, or you can stay with them and your child in the nursery. For safety reason, we like for there to always be 2 adults present with children in the nursery. We also have a pray area for kids in the room that adjoins the sanctuary.
"Sunday" School- monthly family meals, designed around a bible story.
Confirmation- Middle School kids meet with mentors and Pastor Michelle to learn about Christianity and explore their personal faith. Confirmation is open to all unconfirmed youth in 6th grade and older. We run a 2 year program, alternating between a focus on the big questions of Christianity and learning about the United Church of Christ.
Youth Leadership Council- for all confirmed youth. The mission of this group is to advise church leadership on how to live into the call for each generation to make our faith their own, how to fulfill the overall mission of First Congregational UCC Moorhead, and the mission of FCUCC’s Christian Education Board. They also provide planning and leadership for youth events as appropriate.
