Welcome and thanks for checking us out! Our church family is made up of all ages and walks of life. We're engineers, school teachers, janitors, scientists, stay at home moms, contractors, retirees, students, gardeners, Navy, Coast Guard, and more. We are from lots of different communities throughout southeastern CT. But one thing unites us, our desire to become and make disciples who love and serve Jesus Christ!
​
We are a family of believers in Jesus. We trust Him to save us from our sins. We study His word, the Bible, in order to know Him more deeply. We come together to help each other along in our journey, to lift each other up when we fall, and to grow more and more in the grace of our Lord. We hope you will come and join us!
