From the BEGINNINGFirst Congregational Church of Benton Harbor first met in 1866 with the building at Bellview and Pipestone built in 1890. The 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 opened in this historic spot and is poised to continue the social justice work to improve lives in Benton Harbor after moving on from the Bellview location. Check Facebook for current worship locations and times.
Church history was summarized from the Benton Spirit May 10, 2007 Volume 6, Number 15.
