Welcome…

Happy faces at East Congregational Church

No matter where you are on your journey and no matter what your faith background is or has been, East Church extends a warm welcome, inviting all of God’s children to share in our common life.

If you are new to the area, or looking for a church home; if you are seeking a safe and caring environment for your children, a creative Christian Education program, or a place to nurture your own spiritual life, join us on Sunday morning for worship.

We are a vibrant community of faith that strives to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. East Church welcomes the spiritual pilgrim and our congregation includes people from a variety of backgrounds and faith traditions. From this diversity we believe we gain a greater understanding of the way God is present in our lives. Together we walk this journey of faith, listening for the voice of our Still Speaking God. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that we can make a difference in the lives of people and in our world through the transforming power of the Gospel. Through engaging worship and study, we continue to grow in the Spirit and live our faith, building and serving community.

Blessing and Peace,
Rev. Sara Marean,

Approaching Mystery Discussion Group
East Church is forming a new small group discussion series, entitled "Approaching Mystery." The emphasis of this series is to explore prayer. Not the sort of public, communal, corporate prayer we experience in Sunday worship, but the personal, transformative dimension of prayer we all sort of feel we ought to be doing, but which many of us don't know HOW to do.
You may read more about the discussion group on the Small Groups page.
We walked our new labyrinth for the September session! Details of upcoming sessions will be available on the website. We hope you will consider joining us for this exciting program.
