We are a welcoming, seeking, serving, loving collection of folks from many faith backgrounds.

We serve our community and beyond, building the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Where we live
We are located in Norfolk, CT in the Northwest Corner of the state.

Happenings
Listening Circles – We next meet on Wednesday March 26 at 4:15 PM in Battell Chapel. These gatherings are open to all who may be dealing with the loss of a loved one, overwhelmed by global issues, saddened by a significant life change, or grieving in any way. During our time together, we resist the temptation to offer advice or “fixes” for each other. We strive for deep listening, we maintain confidentiality, and we practice revelatory speech (using “I” statements). Please contact Pastor Erick if you wish to take part or if you have questions. . We plan to meet in Pastor Erick’s office, though we may move if the group grows. Thank you!
