Public interest group in Melrose, Massachusetts

Welcome to the First Congregational Church (FCC) in Melrose, a vibrant community of faith and fellowship located at 121 West Foster Street, Melrose, Massachusetts. As part of the United Church of Christ, we are proud to celebrate our 175th anniversary, reflecting on a rich history of resilience and growth. Led by Reverend Dominic Taranowski, our church is a welcoming place for all, offering a wide range of services and programs that cater to people of all ages and backgrounds. Our journey over the past 175 years has been marked by both challenges and triumphs. Having faced and rebuilt from two devastating fires, our congregation has emerged stronger and more united. Today, we continue to thrive as an intergenerational church, providing vibrant worship services, an engaging Sunday school program, and a robust mission and advocacy presence in our community. Our church building also serves as a vital resource for the larger community, hosting the Melrose Day Care Center, which has supported thousands of families since 1971.
