Wolcott Congregational Church
United Church of Christ
Wolcott Congregational Church was founded in 1773 and has an interesting and colorful history. In 1972 the church entered into covenant with the United Church of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination uniting four smaller ones for the purpose of wider mission opportunities, Christian Education, administrative support and resourcing, and oversight of standards for the performance of ministry by an educated and authorized clergy.
As a Congregational church, our church is completely autonomous in its decision making regarding all aspects of our mission and ministry. We own the property, choose our own leaders, take full fiscal responsibility for everything we do and own, determine what practices and ministries are best suited for our members and our work. We function as a democracy, choosing elected leaders to represent us in the day to day work of the church. As a member you have both the right and the privilege to become fully involved in the workings of the church by voting at all congregational meetings, serving on the various Boards and Committees, and giving of your time, resources, and talents to further the work of Christ among us.
