Justice

Jonna Gillham, member of FCCB and High School Junior this year, attended a UCC program called Youth Voices: Bold Faith in Washington DC this summer. She received scholarship from both First Congregational Church and the Pacific Northwest Conference of the UCC, and she was the only representative from Washington.

As Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) continues to terrorize communities, separate families, and even kill citizens and non-citizens alike as part of this administration’s mass deportation campaign, there is also increased public scrutiny of this country’s detention center system for migrants. 

The Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship is hosting a blood drive next week on Wednesday, August 19 and we need the community's help! Unfortunately, Bloodworks NW is still in an urgent code red, meaning we have less than a one-to-two-day supply of blood available for patients in our region. 

Pride in 2026 included the exciting debut of First Congregational Church's Pride Dragon! Check out the photos!

To share our open and welcoming spirit, we will celebrate Pride in Bellingham by being a colorful, joyous "dragon" in the parade. We've been busy creating the 44-foot rainbow creature and are excited to be sharing it with our diverse community!
