Hopeville Church

About this church

Hopeville Church in Waterbury, Connecticut, gathers for Sunday worship at 160 Piedmont St. The home page and the event calendar list the service at 11:30 a.m., while the contact page mentions 11 a.m., so visitors should confirm the time before coming. The church describes itself as a progressive, inclusive community of faith, and the service includes live prayer and live preaching. Worship is also streamed live on Facebook each Sunday for anyone who cannot attend in person.

First-time visitors are greeted at the door with the morning's worship folder and can fill out a visitor card or check the signup table in the entryway. Coffee and refreshments follow the service. The atmosphere is relaxed, and children may dance, clap, sing, or color during worship before heading downstairs to kids' church. A play pen with an adult nearby is set up at the back of the room for babies and toddlers.

Feeding people is central to the church's work. The Hopeville Food Pantry opens on the third Wednesday of each month with no income test, and the event calendar lists Friday pop-up pantries from 10 a.m. to noon. The Food For Hope program provides weekend food packs for students at Hopeville Elementary. The Piedmont Players, a separate theater troupe, hold dinner theaters at the church each May and October, and ticket proceeds support the church's mission work. The church also works with partners such as Greater Waterbury Interfaith Ministries and the Hospitality Center.
