First Congregational Church’s building dates to 1867 and is located on the corner of South Jefferson Avenue and
Hayden Street in downtown Saginaw. The congregation, gathered in 1857, is affiliated with the United Church of
Christ, and has recognized excellence and eclecticism in its worship and musical offerings since the 1800’s. As a part of
its Phoenix Project that began in 2012, First Congregational Church completed restoration of the 1929 E. M. Skinner
organ in 2015, as well as a lighting renovation of the sanctuary in 2012, which helps to solidify the congregation’s
cultural commitment to the Cathedral District, Saginaw, and the Great Lakes Bay Region. The sanctuary is also well
known for its wonderful acoustics and is a favored venue for many concerts and other events. Many areas of First
Congregational Church, including Bradley House and Suttner Hall are also available for short-term rentals. For more
information, call the Church office at 989.754.6565, Tuesday through Friday, from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM or visit our
