Westchester Congregational Church

About this church

Westchester Congregational Church worships Sundays at 10:00 a.m. at 98 Cemetery Road in Colchester. Services are also available through Zoom when the login is requested by 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Children begin in the sanctuary with their families, then move downstairs to Sunday School; childcare is available. Worship combines traditional and gospel hymns with biblical preaching connected to life. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday with gluten-free bread and is open to anyone who wishes to receive it. Summer worship sometimes moves outdoors to Raymond Park.

The congregation’s slogan is “Look Up, Laugh, Love and Lift,” and it describes itself as a small church with a big heart. Its organized history reaches back to 1726, while the current building has served the area since 1848 and Sunday School began in 1818. Local care remains visible through a Blessings Box near the driveway, where neighbors may take or leave sealed food and supplies. A Thursday knitting group makes scarves, hats, mittens, gloves, and caps for people experiencing homelessness or cancer treatment. Visitors can expect historic Congregational worship on a modest scale, children integrated into the opening of service, hybrid access, open Communion, and practical community care carried out throughout the week.
