The Federated Church of Christ is located just off Route 6 in the center of Brooklyn, Connecticut; we are accessible from either Wolf Den Road or Route 169
The First Baptist Church and the Triunitari an Church of Brooklyn formed a Federation in 1940. The Federated Church of Christ is one in the by-laws, properties, finances, in all decision making processes and in spirit. However, for purposes of denominational affiliation, our American Baptist members and our United Church of Christ members elect delegates to their respective denominations and are encouraged to participate fully at the denominational level.
Both denominations believe individuals should thoughtfully and prayerfully make up their own minds about what they believe.
Both believe that all Christians - laity as well as clergy - are called to be ministers of Jesus Christ.
Both believe in the autonomy of the individual local church and see the relationship between the local church and the denomination as a covenantal one. Neither denomination dictates policy or orthodoxy but rather seeks to serve the local church in enriching its life and in fulfilling its mission in the world.
We enjoy our federated status and we take pride and pleasure in the unity amidst diversity which characterizes our makeup.
Each Sunday morning at 10 AM - through song, scripture, sermon, prayer, and fellowship - we reaffirm our sense of wonder and reverence of God, and seek to experience inward renewal, and guidance to live a Christian life.
There is Church school for children with infant care provided, and after the service is a fellowship meeting with coffee, juice and snacks of all sorts.
We have a Thrift Shop - Holy Cow - now open; hours 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Friday and Saturday.
Note the Holy Cow will be closed from January 2012 until February 11, 2012.
