At First UCC of Milford, leadership is more than the work of pastors and staff. As a congregational church, we are guided by the voices and commitments of our members. Our boards and ministry chairs provide essential leadership, oversight, and vision, helping us discern God’s call and carry it out in practical, faithful ways. Their service ensures that our church remains a vibrant, welcoming, and justice-seeking community.
