Proud member of SOPHIA
First Congregational UCC answered God’s call to work locally for social justice by covenanting with SOPHIA in 2005. SOPHIA (Stewards of Prophetic, Hopeful, Intentional Action) is a coalition of diverse faith communities in Waukesha County. SOPHIA works on issues of justice through building relationships in public and private sectors, uniting people with common values to have a powerful voice – standing together to change injustices affecting those who are marginalized. Together, we seek to make our communities places where everyone has a chance to succeed.
First Congregational UCC has a Core Team that invites and encourages all members of the church to engage in the issues addressed by SOPHIA.
