Wide Awake UCC History
First Congregational Church of Benton Harbor first met in 1866 with the building at Bellview and Pipestone built in 1890. The current English Gothic building was completed in 1928. First Congregational Church has long been a center for social justice and empowerment playing key roles in the formation of the United Church of Christ. Closing services were held in 2007. With help from other UCC churches, including Trinity UCC, Wide Awake UCC is opening in this historic spot and is poised to continue the social justice work to improve lives in Benton Harbor.

Empower me
Empower me to be a bold participant, rather than a timid saint in waiting; to exercise authority of honesty, rather than to defer to power or deceive to get it; to influence someone for justice, rather than impress anyone for gain; and by grace, to find treasures of joy, of friendship, of peace hidden in the fields you give me daily to plow.
