Our Story

United Church of Stonington is dually aligned with the United Church of Christ and the American Baptist Church, making us truly diverse. Our church building, a quintessential 19th c. New England church with a beautiful E & G G Hook pipe organ, is located in the Borough of Stonington on Main Street.

We genuinely welcome you here, regardless of who you are or where you are in life's journey. We are warmhearted, compassionate and attentive in looking out for one another, and in celebrating events in each other's lives. We have a strong music program that binds us together in worship. We are family oriented and provide childcare on Sunday mornings. Our members are dedicated and hardworking, carrying out the mission of the Church with the utmost integrity

Mission

Our mission is to welcome all into our non-judgmental intentional community. We journey together to deepen our spiritual growth through the teachings of Jesus Christ and to demonstrate loving kindness through outreach and positive energy.
