Welcome home.

We are two churches with one story.

We are an interdenominational church family here in and for the villages of Etna and Hanover Center. Our “yoked” church is a partnership between the First Baptist Church (est. 1791) in Etna and the First Congregational Church (est. 1768) in Hanover Center. As a result of this partnership, our church family has grown to include a variety of church traditions: Congregational, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Northern American Baptist, Southern Baptist, Presbyterian, and various others.
