Atkinson Congregational Church

About this church

Atkinson Congregational Church is a United Church of Christ congregation that has drawn worshipers to its historic “Light on the Hill” since 1772. Its Christian faith centers on the triune God, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, grace, Communion, peace, care for people in need, and each person’s continuing spiritual journey. In 2022 the church adopted an Open and Affirming covenant welcoming people of every sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression into full participation. Music ranges from hymns to contemporary and folk styles.

Sunday worship begins at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and by livestream. Dress is generally casual, although some people dress more formally. Children from birth through high school can join age-appropriate programs with trained, background-checked workers, or remain with their families in worship. Children normally begin in the sanctuary, then move after the children’s message to classes in adjacent Tuthill House; nursery care is also available there. The church posts on-demand services for later viewing and uses its calendar for outdoor worship, Blue Christmas, and other seasonal gatherings.
