Who we are
We are a small, spirited community of faith nestled on historic Woodstock Hill in northeastern Connecticut. Founded in 1690 and worshiping in our classic New-England meetinghouse since 1820, we carry forward more than three centuries of Congregational heritage while embracing the fresh winds of God’s Spirit today. Our guiding motto—“Welcoming, Growing, Caring – Sharing Christ’s Love with All People”—shapes everything we do.
Rooted in the United Church of Christ
As part of the United Church of Christ, we stand within a nationwide fellowship known for progressive theology, social justice witness, and congregational freedom. The UCC’s Statement of Faith anchors us in the good news of a God who “seeks in holy love to save all people…bestows upon us the Holy Spirit…[and] promises forgiveness, grace, and courage in the struggle for justice and peace.”
An Open & Affirming
In 2003 we formally became an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation, pledging that “there are no outsiders in a community that is observant of God’s will.” We welcome people of every race, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, economic circumstance, and ability into the full life and leadership of the church.
