Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ

About this church

Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ in Massena, New York, gathers for worship on Sundays at 11 a.m. at 39 West Orvis Street. The congregation is part of the United Church of Christ and traces its beginnings to the 1830s, when it started as the Second Congregational Church, the first organized church in the town. The service can also be watched live on YouTube each Sunday, and the previous week's sermon is broadcast on WMSA, AM 1340.

Music is a large part of church life, with a choir that practices on Wednesday afternoons and a children's choir. A liturgical dance group performs during worship on special occasions, and a Sunday school and children's ministries are listed on the ministries page. A prayer group meets Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. and has continued to offer a Zoom option. An emotional health support group, open to the wider community, meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m. upstairs in the Unity Room; it is described as a place to share and be supported rather than group therapy. Deacons visit members at home and help with communion. The church gives a tenth of its offerings to missions beyond its doors. Questions can go to the church office at (315) 769-8523.
