Who we are
We are Church of Christ Congregational, an Open and Affirming Church of the UCC.
We are a welcoming, seeking, serving, loving collection of folks from many faith backgrounds.
What we do
We serve our community and beyond, building the Kingdom of God on Earth.
Food pantry, clothes closet, community dinners, wellness events, mission trips and work camps, fellowship and small group events.
Where we live
We are located in Norfolk, CT in the Northwest Corner of the state.
With Torrington to the South, Winsted to the East and Canaan to the West, Norfolk is a beautiful, peaceful and friendly place to live, even if it is known as the ”Icebox of Connecticut.”
Happenings
Listening Circles – We next meet on Wednesday May 7 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!
