WELCOME! WE’RE GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
Visitors to the First Congregational Church of Guilford find a congregation that is in the act of trying to live modern life as followers of Jesus Christ. When we follow Jesus, we become people who live in a way that has a positive impact on our families, on our schools, on our communities and on our world.
What, you may ask, does that mean?
- All are welcome here! We are not afraid of difference—-we honor it.
- We support social justice missions in Connecticut, our country and the world.
- We offer authenticity and transparency in our search for the truth.
- We offer dynamic youth programs for all ages.
- We are a totally green church.
- Our preaching engages faith and intellect.
- Our music programs are vibrant and uplifting!
But above all, it means engaging with and making a tangible difference in our community and in the world.
Just by gathering together, we grow in faith—-it’s kind of amazing how that works!
God’s love abounds! Our walls can’t begin to contain it…….and they don’t try.
FIRST CHURCH GUILFORD
“Transforming Faith into Action since 1643”.
Maybe you are searching for a church to call home. Or you might be wondering what “going to church” is like these days. Even if you are just passing through, we’d love it if you chose to worship with us at the First Congregational Church of Guilford.
There are two services on Sunday morning: a more intimate 8:30 a.m service in the Chapel, and the bigger 10:00 a.m. service in the Sanctuary. Sunday School takes place during the 10:00am service. Holiday services don’t necessarily follow this schedule, so check this website for times.
We’ve built this website to answer the questions visitors and newcomers often have — so explore to your heart’s content! If we missed anything, contact us and let us know. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Handicapped parking and our accessibility ramp to the church are both located in that area.
The ramp can also be accessed from Broad Street, directly to the right of the church entrance.
Most church members find ample parking in the Guilford Library Parking Lot and on the Guilford Village Green.
