Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and being God's love
with our neighbor in all places.
This is our mission and our journey:

YOU have gifts to share! Won't you join us on the journey?

The Church Has Left the Building
On Saturday, October 15, over 55 volunteers collected 860 pounds of food for our local food banks! We plan to leave the building again in the spring of 2012 to serve our neighbors in various ways. Watch for more information!
We are a people enabled by the grace of God to be God's love to our neighbors in Norwich and beyond!
Flood / Cleaning Buckets
There is still need for these buckets! CLICK HERE for a list of bucket supplies and instructions on how to assemble the buckets. Completed buckets or individual supplies may be dropped off at the church. We will arrange to have the buckets delivered to areas of most need, including Chenango, Broome, and Schoharie counties.
Children are always welcome in worship!
Our Children's Worship Center provides activities for children to use during the worship service, including story books, children's Bibles, and tote bags full of crayons, stickers, children's worship bulletins and activity sheets.
We also have a child-sized table and chairs in the back of the sanctuary near the Children's Worship Center, along with two adult-sized rocking chairs, so children and their parents can have a special place to work on the projects in the tote bags while still being able to participate in the worship service.
