First Congregational Church of Old Lyme

About this church

First Congregational Church of Old Lyme worships at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday in its historic Meetinghouse, with the service livestreamed simultaneously on YouTube. During the school year, Sunday School and nursery care are available during worship and coffee hour usually follows. The 10:00 service continues through summer, but Sunday School pauses from the first Sunday in June until the Sunday after Labor Day—a practical distinction for families planning a seasonal visit.

The church identifies as open and affirming and connects worship with education, music and the arts, mission partnerships, and wider community work. Because there is one principal Sunday service rather than multiple styles to compare, newcomers can focus on whether they need nursery or classroom directions and whether they will stay for coffee. A first-time household should arrive before 10:00 for the Meetinghouse and children’s check-in, or use the YouTube option to become familiar with the service. Current announcements remain important for holidays, memorials, or other dates when the normal pattern may change.
