Who we are
First Congregational Church has been an important part of Kennebunkport for over 275 years. This church has a long history and is considered the oldest in the area since its founding in 1730. We are a family church located on the outskirts of the historic village of Kennebunkport, Maine. Located at the crossroads of North Street and Log Cabin Road, this area was the center of town in 1893.
Kennebunkport is a tourist town with a winter population of over 3,500 and a summer population nearing 12,000. We are a warm, welcoming, neighborly church, respectful of the environment. We are a New England church and treasure our independent Congregational tradition while supporting the United Church of Christ and its ministries. We are home to vacationers and summer residents, as well as a family to our Kennebunkport residents.
Over the years we have been a “mission oriented” church seeking to respond to the needs of our immediate community, our state, nation, and the world in which we live. Our work consists of formulating goals which will establish programs to respond to those needs with the funds available through the church budget and donations of materials and monies from our church attendees.
Music is an important part of our worship. Our Hook Organ, which was installed in this church in 1916, was built in 1854, was extensively reconditioned in 2007, and is regularly played at Sunday morning worship. In June 2016, we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the gift of this organ to our church from our friends at South Congregational Church in Kennebunkport. We have now launched a Capital Campaign to support the restoration of this historic organ. We also have a beautiful Steinway piano and a gifted musician in our Music Director, Joyce Painter Rice. Joyce has coordinated a series of concerts over the past year, including guest musicians who shared their musical talents, from classical guitar, flute and organ to beautiful voices sharing Opera and hymns.
The members of the church are committed to their church and to one another. Following worship each week is an opportunity to gather for coffee and refreshments in our Fellowship Hall. We support one another during difficult times and we celebrate each other’s joys. If you are looking for a new church home, you are welcome to join us any Sunday.

My hidden sins
Here they are, Lord Jesus, my hidden sins. I bring them out of the secret chamber of my heart. I take them out of the darkness and expose them to Your light. Lord, You have promised You will execute Your word upon the earth, thoroughly and quickly. Oh God, thoroughly cleanse my heart; purify me quickly!
