United Church of Rowayton

About this church

United Church of Rowayton follows a seasonal Sunday schedule. From the first Sunday after Labor Day through June, worship begins at 10:15 a.m. in the House of Worship at 210 Rowayton Avenue. In July and August, a shortened outdoor service starts at 9:15 in Pinkney Park; because park parking is limited, attendees are advised to leave cars at the church or use street parking. Services last about an hour and use a flexible framework of old and new music, Scripture and contemporary readings, and practical meditations rather than one fixed liturgy. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month and is open to everyone.

Children spend the first half of worship with their families and then leave for Sunday School, helping them become comfortable with congregational worship before age-based learning. Afterward, people walk to the Meeting House for coffee, food, and fellowship. The church belongs to the United Church of Christ and identifies as Open and Affirming, explicitly welcoming people across cultural background, race, physical ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, level of certainty, and stage of faith. Its mission combines spiritual growth with a more inclusive, compassionate, and sustainable community. The seasonal waterfront setting, open Communion, family worship, and immediate fellowship make this a distinctly neighborhood-centered Rowayton congregation.
