Ministry with Students

First Congregational Church (UCC) welcomes and supports students at Washington University, St. Louis University, and other area schools. We offer pastoral care, parnership on your journey, and an informal Christian community for worship, fellowship, service, and spiritual exploration. All are welcome, especially LGBTQA students. Whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here!

Contact the church office at 314-721-5060 by noon on Friday for a ride to worship at 10:30am on Sunday.

Rev. Steve Westbrook is also available at various times during the week for lunch, supper, or coffee – for listening, praying, or laughing – on campus or at the church. Just call or email to set up a time swestbrook@firstcongregational.org.
