Newcomers Welcome

The North Stamford Congregational Church is a come-as-you-are church with a casual atmosphere and a message that makes sense for everyday life. Perhaps you are new to our church, or even new to “worship services” in general. Perhaps you haven’t attended for awhile and have merely forgotten. In any case, most of us find ourselves, at some time or another, saying: “Help! What do I do next?”

Hopefully, this guide will help you to relax and feel comfortable. We also hope that you will find worshipping here a meaningful experience. We look forward to seeing you!

Worship Service

Worship Service takes place every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

Children

The children (Pre-K through Teen) gather each Sunday in the church. They then leave to go to Children's Sunday School in the Guild House, next door to the church. Children's Sunday School is available during the school year except on school holiday weekends and vacations. There may be special Family Sundays when they will remain in worship and participate in Communion.

Nursery Care

There is nursery care for babies and toddlers (Pre-K and under) every Sunday during worship in the Guild House. It is available before the church service begins.

Communion

All are welcome at our table who know Jesus Christ as Lord and seek to follow in his ways. All Christians. All ages.

The communion is done by intinction: Take a piece of bread from the loaf offered by the minister or deacon and dip it into the chalice filled with grape juice. If you need to be served in the pew, just let the usher know and a deacon will come to you. Remember: All are welcome to the table here. So, no matter what you believe or what religion you practice, feel free to share Communion if you are so moved!

Worship Style

While we are continually experimenting with new worship style concepts, we generally practice an open style with uplifting congregational music, special musicians, our choir and powerfully inspiring sermons.

Attire

Attire ranges from dressy to work dress to casual. You are invited to wear what you feel comfortable wearing.

Fellowship Hour

Following Sunday Worship, all are welcome to gather in the Guild House for coffee, beverages and often a light snack. This serves as an opportunity to get to know one another better and learn more about the church, its offerings and opportunities. All are welcome to join us.

Parking

There is a large parking lot next to the church. There is additional parking next to the Guild House and also at the Stone House.

Disabled Access

There are several spaces reserved directly in front of the church for disabled parking or drop off. A ramp to the church is just steps away. The Stone House is also accessible via wheelchair.
