What’s missing from our church?  Perhaps you are!<\/p>\n

One’s life of faith is lived to the fullest when it is done in practice and fellowship with a community of believers.  That’s what our church is — a community of practitioners of faith in Jesus Christ. Our church is not a building; it’s a group of people striving together to be disciples of Christ, to grow in relationship with God and with one another.<\/p>\n

Being a church is about staying connected to those relationships and to the joy and challenge of discipleship. Your life of faith can be fuller when it is connected with a practicing community – a place where you can be supported, challenged, strengthened… a place where you can study scripture in a group setting, worship God, test out ideas, serve the community and wider world, and grow.  Perhaps what’s missing from your life of faith is this connection and these relationships?  If so, come and be<\/span> the church with us!<\/p>\n

We are a member congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC)<\/a>.  No matter who you are or where you are on life\u2019s journey, you\u2019re welcome here!<\/p>\n

Sunday worship and Sunday school at 10am \u2013 join us! (Summer worship at 9:30am)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/strong>:  The avowed purpose of this Church shall be to worship God; to teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and our Judeo-Christian faith story; to celebrate the sacraments; to realize Christian fellowship and unity within this Church and the Church Universal; to render loving service toward others; and to strive for righteousness, justice and peace.<\/i><\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/strong>:  Terryville Congregational Church strives to be a warm and hospitable place of welcome and of Christ\u2019s good news, a place that is open to the creative ideas of God\u2019s Spirit, a place that shepherds its people and reaches out to others and all the while a place that encourages community partnership\u2026 a place that has fun while nurturing the Christian journey, while communicating and living its mission.<\/i><\/p>\n
