First Congregational Church is blessed to have Pastor Dennis Hudson as our pastor. Pastor Hudson believes in preaching and teaching the word of God, and encouraging the congregation and visitors to walk with the Lord. He shares her faith walk, works with members to help them during times of difficulties, encourages and instructs everyone.

He enjoys visiting with congregational members, working with others outside of the church who may need guidance and encouragement through life’s trials.

Pastor Dennis welcomes the congregation and members every Sunday with a warm smile and a sincerity that come from his heart.
