There are many opportunities for involvement and fellowship at First Congregational United Church of Christ including:

• Worship (more information at this link)- we gather for weekly worship at 11 AM - 10 AM in the summer. The service lasts about an hour followed by a time for fellowship and light snacks. Child care is available. Our chapel Choir invites new members.

• Learning - Sunday School for all ages begins at 10 AM during the school year. During the fall 2006 school year adults will use Bible Quest curriculum to study hospitality. Children and youth will use the Bible Quest curriculum. A weekly Bible Study group meets at 8 AM on Wednesdays.

• Service - A variety of mission outreach activities are ongoing. Some are in the church facilities such as our Thrift Store; others are in the community such as Feeding the 5000 Families along with other Portneuf Valley Interfaith Fellowship mission work; and others are national or global. We have a separate non-profit organization, the Sophia Foundation of Pocatello that helps coordinate a range of projects and programs.
