Plymouth Congregational Church of Fort Wayne, a congregation of the United Church of Christ, is a community of approximately 580 members located in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Sunday morning worship includes an 8:00 a.m. Communion service in the Chapel, followed by a 10:00 a.m. worship service in the sanctuary, with an average attendance of 150.  The church's current Mission Statement seeks to express the gracious atmosphere Plymouth members hope to convey to church friends or visitors.  It reads:

Plymouth Church is an inclusive Christian Community welcoming you as you are, supporting you in your own journey with God, and challenging you to live out the teachings of Jesus individually, collectively, globally.

Worship is central in the life of Plymouth Church.  The Sacrament of Holy Communion is shared on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at the 10:00 a.m. service, with baptisms and the reception of members taking place on 2nd or 4th Sundays.  If a month includes a 5th Sunday (4 times a year), the liturgy of healing prayer for congregational use is followed (UCC Book of Worship). 

Christian Education for all ages, children through adults, is every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

The people of Plymouth Church have long prized excellence in preaching, teaching, and music.  Over the years such notable Christians as William Sloane Coffin, Thomas Troeger, Susan Thistlethwaite, Walter Wink, John Shelby Spong, Cain Hope Felder, Rita Nakashima Brock, Charles G. Adams, Gary Dorrien, and Joan Brown Campbell have graced the Plymouth pulpit with their presence.  Debra Hafner, the influential Unitarian, has visited to preach and teach.  Other friends of Plymouth include Father Elias (Abuna) Chacour from Israel, and Mitri Raheb, from Bethlehem in Palestine.  Plymouth has also welcomed an array of interfaith speakers, including Rabbis Haim Dov Beliak (co-founder of Jews on First), Arik Asherman (Executive Directors of Rabbis for Human Rights), Dalia Eshkenazi Landau (Open House of Ramle, Israel) and  Imam Hassan Al-Qazwini (Islamic Center of America).   

The people of Plymouth Church have declared themselves to be a congregation that is open & affirming, committed to just peace, and conscientious environmental stewards.  We are currently pondering what is means to be a church committed to global mission, while maintaining our strong tradition of local benevolence.

If you seek a church that is committed to forging a broader expression of Christianity, consider Plymouth Church.  You will discover a generous and compassionate people sincerely engaged in the exploration of faith.
