Community

  • The First Congregational Church of Bellingham United Church of Christ is pleased to once again offer a Health and Wellness Scholarship in honor of Debra Kay Pehrson, who served this community as a dedicated nurse. The $2,500 yearly scholarship was established by her mother, Alvie Pehrson to support individuals in our congregation who have chosen to pursue a career in healthcare.


  • We are a community of friends gathering for a meal, conversation, and sharing time together. We closed 2025 in November with a joint Holiday Meal with our Ground Floor friends—Wow everyone did step up and show up. Now the tradition of Being Community goes forward.


  • Many of you remember that we usually have a Village Books book sale in the church narthex during Advent. It is an excellent time to purchase gifts for family and friends and to check out some wonderful books.
