Ministry Description The First Congregational Church of New Milford is a welcoming and growing Christian community, looking for a Full-Time Pastor that shares our values of growing in faith, fellowship and outreach in the community. Founded in 1716, our church is a cornerstone of faith in the region. Rooted in the Congregationalist tradition, we embrace an inclusive and progressive Christian theology, where all are welcome - wherever you are on life's journey, to explore one's faith in a supportive and open environment. Our Church Council is a dedicated core group of members who meet monthly to coordinate all of our operations and activities. In all aspects of our ministry, our Church strives to be a place where faith is deepened, lives are transformed, and the love of God is made visible through acts of service, worship, and community engagement. Our Sunday Service blends traditional and contemporary elements, to create a meaningful and engaging experience for all attendees, encouraging members to serve as readers, musicians, & various leadership roles during services. Worship focuses on thoughtful sermons, inspiring music, and communal prayer, all aimed at nurturing spiritual growth and providing guidance for living a Christ-centered life. Beyond Sunday worship, we are deeply committed to serving the broader community. We organize a wide range of outreach initiatives, including partnerships with social services, the local food bank, homeless shelter, and various charities. Our members are offered a variety of Christian education & activities for all ages, designed to deepen faith and understanding through study, discussion, and fellowship. New Milford residents value our historical small-town charm, highly regarded school system, with the perfect balance of a picturesque New England landscape nestled along the Housatonic River and Candlewood Lake, while also being within close proximity to larger cities including Danbury and NYC.
