The Stone-Campbell Movement is a plea for Christian unity that centers around the weekly receiving of the Eucharist, Bible-centered preaching, a quest for truth, and a deep compassion towards others. The Congregational Christian Tradition is a subset of Reformed Christianity and was the faith the Pilgrims brought to these shores.

As a Congregational Christian Church, we use a hybrid presbyterian-congregational polity system. "Polity" is a churchy word meaning "government". We have a Board which governs the day-to-day operations of the church. The Board is comprised of the pastor(s) (called Teaching Elders) and lay Elders (called Church or Ruling Elders). Otherwis

We get it! Worshiping in a new space can cause anxiety, but don't worry! We are a friendly church that has a blended worship service. Want to raise your hands? Go for it! Want to shout, "amen"? Do as the Spirit commands! This is a judgment-free zone! All that we ask is the same thing that God asks of you: bring all of who you are just as God made you.
The church is not a select circle of the immaculate and holy, but a home where the outcast may come in and find wholeness.
Rev. James H. Aughey
