The First Congregational Church of Westbrook, Connecticut Loving God, Serving Our Neighbor, Transforming Our Community
No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
Westbrook Congregational Church has been worshipping in the heart of Westbrook for 300 years. We are an open, welcoming community where all people are embraced as beloved children of God. Our church is a place of worship, fellowship, and community life. We host yoga and music classes, faith formation, recovery support groups, the Wildflower Preschool, and weekly hot meals through Shoreline Soup Kitchen and Pantries, Inc.
We are an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ. This means we joyfully welcome and affirm people of every age, race, culture, ability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, faith background, and economic circumstance. We celebrate the sacred worth of every person and offer all sacraments, rites, and congregational leadership roles to all who join our community.
We collaborate locally with neighboring UCC congregations and are active members of the Middlesex Association and the Valley Shore Ecumenical Congregations.
About the United Church of Christ
The UCC is a Christian denomination founded with a vision for unity and faith in action. We believe God is still speaking—Scripture continues to guide us as we listen for God’s living word in today’s world. We celebrate two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion.
As a United Church of Christ congregation, we are:
-
Christian: Following Jesus in love, justice, and peace.
-
Congregational: Governed by our members, in covenant with the wider church.
-
Evangelical: Sharing the good news of God’s inclusive love.
-
Reformed: Always growing in faith and open to the Spirit’s ongoing work.
