The First Congregational Church was formerly located in Albuquerque, NM, USA. Residual activity in Albuquerque has diminished and is no longer active in that area.

The Incorporated Church sponsors a Wiccan coven, "The People of the Woods," which is currently accepting a limited number of suitable new members. The Church provides training, initiation and ordination into the Wiccan clergy in the traditional Wiccan manner. A limited number of apprentices may be accepted for the priesthood of the Old Religion. We do not recruit new members, but we will welcome any who sincerely desires to participate in our religion with us. Read our About the Church page for more information on the coven. Our Wiccan traditoin is an initiatory mystery religion. We are a smoke free congregation.

Ordained clergy of the First Congregational Church are available to those of similar religious calling for pastoral counseling, marriages (handfastings), baby blessings, and other rites of passage.
