Welcome to
Hampshire Colony Congregational Church
At Hampshire Colony Congregational Church we are living our faith through God’s grace, believing in the importance of Scripture and relying on the help of God. We encourage individual spiritual growth and the expression of our rights in congregational self-determination. We are welcoming of all individuals seeking the Christian faith.
Hampshire Colony Congregational Church (HCCC) began 187 years ago in 1831 when a group of New Englanders went west to start a new town. One of our first pastors was Rev. Owen Lovejoy, a well-known abolitionist and conductor on the Underground Railroad. He later took our anti-slavery values to serve as a US senator.
HCCC has a dynamic history and a deep love for God and each other. Today we offer modern ways to pursue a personal friendship with Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
We embrace the Congregational Way of "Faith, Freedom, and Fellowship."
Faith: We celebrate that we can trust Jesus to lead us.
Freedom: We celebrate a freedom to follow Christ ourselves!!
Fellowship: We celebrate our friendships together in God's family!!
Join in worship Sundays at 10:30 AM.
Or swing by the church office to chat Tuesday/Thursday from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM.
