Founded in 1730 First Church of Kennebunkport is deeply rooted in the community. Mission driven we respond to the needs of each other, our neighbors, and the world around us. Our logo reflects our times. In random placement of rectangles, a cross is formed at the center. Pieces of life do not always seem to fit, but when Christ is at the center, it makes more sense.
We are a New England church and treasure our independent Congregational tradition while supporting the United Church of Christ and its Ministries. Simply put, we focus on
The Word and Hymns.
We sit in the heart of Kennebunkport, Maine. Known as a fishing village, tourist destination, summer paradise, and home to generations of neighbors taking care of neighbors.
We recognize that each faith journey is personal and different. Together we make it and are stronger for our travels. Please come meet some of the people who help make our church community a welcoming place.
Our Interim Pastor, Fred Gagnon, has provided a steady hand at First Church since February 2022. Leading our services with dedication, passion and wisdom, his messages feel pitch perfect for our times. He helps us find blessings to be grateful for and scripture that ties us meaningfully to our daily lives. He leaves us inspired and hopeful. He leaves us at the end of 2024 and we are in search of a half-time settled pastor.

Our congregation is deeply committed to the community that supports and surrounds us. We support each other with prayer chains and blood drives, through contributions to food banks, shelters, relief organizations and those in need beyond our borders. The work touches us in different ways. It is meaningful to each and every one of our members and engages our hearts, spirits, and faith in different ways.
All are welcome at First Church of Kennebunkport! New to the area or third generation "KPTer"... Visitor, passing through, looking for community or spiritual connection we welcome you to our pew, our communion table, and of course, our open-hearted and spirited singing of hymns!
Come one, come all. We meet at 9:30 every Sunday, rain, sleet, snow, hurricane and hail. We are, after all, the heartiest of Mainers!
We refer to ourselves as a small but mighty bunch. We make a lot of good things happen within our community and we turn out for each other each time we are asked. We hope what we do inspires you to make a visit!
