WELCOME TO

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF SONOMA

FCC Sonoma is excited to offer many ways to be together in Christian love.  Our Sunday gatherings are held at 9:30 a.m. for Reflection Time in the Redwood Grove and at 10:30 a.m. for our regular service. Chair Yoga every 1st Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m in the West Wing. Details for the current Sunday's services can be found by clicking the "This Week" tab located at the top of this page. Our Earth Care Team offers monthly learning opportunities and spiritual walks, our Social Action Team organizes outreach activities. We enjoy being together to pursue new ideas and grow spiritually, to seek justice and serve those in need, and to advocate for the care of the earth.  We invite you to join our community of love, acceptance, and service.  Click here to learn about our Mission and Values.  Click here to contact us directly.

 

We laugh freely and rejoice in the wonder of God’s love and care, while investing our energy, our courage, and our creativity in building a world of justice and equal opportunity for all.

 

We affirm our high calling to care for all creation and to seek justice for the oppressed, ever-conscious of the socioeconomic dimensions of climate change and ecological disruption and its effects on global inequality.


We are spiritual seekers who embrace Jesus’ message of love and compassion, and often find ourselves more comfortable with questions than answers. We value science, culture, and the wisdom of other religious traditions.

In the spirit of love, we welcome people of every age, economic status, ethnicity, physical ability, nationality, race, religious background, and sexual orientation to participate fully in all aspects of our church’s life and ministry.



Rev. Dr. Curran Reichert, Pastor

 

The slightly irreverent Reverend Dr. Curran Reichert has been stirring up “good trouble,” and serving up questions that challenge us to grow spiritually for the past ten years at FCC. She believes in the power of Spiritual community to be a force for good in the world. Curran is highly educated and dedicated to making Sonoma Valley a more just and equitable place.


Throughout the Valley, Rev. Reichert lends her perspective as a faith leader to addressing the need for fair housing and worker justice. She has been a leading voice concerning fair treatment of those without permanent shelter. She is committed to doing her part to end racial bias and deconstruct colonialism in the church and in our community.


Rev. Reichert understands that Christianity can be scary for people who have suffered abuse, or oppression due to bigotry and religious intolerance. She creates what she hopes will be a safe entry point for those seeking the support of a radically inclusive community of faith. Her motto is “Purpose, Presence, and Practice,” she embodies all three.


We love our pastor, and we think you will love her to. If you would like to make an appointment to meet with Rev. Reichert, receive prayers, or a visit from our support team, send her a message or call the church office at 707.996.1328.


Rev. Reichert often says, “FCC is the place you would want to go to church if you went to church.” We are a gathering of spirited people who care about earth justice, speaking out about injustice, tending to the vulnerable, and learning to find common ground, these are the relevant earmarks of our congregation. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings either contemplative at 9:00am or regular in person at 10:30am. Here is the Zoom link for our 8:30 a.m. service.

 

Thoughts from the Pastor

3/23/2026

 

Greetings Beloved Community,

Just a couple of things this week, and a poem for your journey. This coming Saturday is the second “No Kings” protest march. If you need more information, please go to the Wake-Up Sonoma website. The gathering will look a little different this time as marchers will come from two different locations and end at the Plaza. I will be there to welcome you when you arrive along with some wonderful musicians. We will stand and sing together in celebration of the things we love, equity, justice and democracy. If you would like to learn the songs that will be sung both for the march and in the plaza, join us in Burlingame Hall on Friday, March 27, from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. We will practice the songs together. I look forward to seeing you on the Saturday, March 28.

Let us continue to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and stand up for what it good.

With love,
Curran


What We Need
The Emperor,
his bullies
and henchmen
terrorize the world
every day,
which is why
every day 
we need
a little poem
of kindness,
a small song
of peace
a brief moment
of joy.
