This Church serves as a community resource for Hancock and a landmark for travelers to Downeast Maine. It provides an open and affirming spiritual home affiliated with the United Church of Christ that links the Church with a national and international network of churches and service agencies. Through its budget and special donations it supports many local organizations and programs to provide impo
rtant assistance to those in need of food, shelter, clothing, comfort, and support. We strive to provide spiritual and practical aid for our members and for those in the community who seek assistance or are brought to our attention by others. In particular we provide some medical equipment, limited financial assistance for expenses, and emotional support during health crises. We hold annual rummage sales, yard sales, a fair, and other activities to benefit local residents. We welcome members and friends in Sunday morning worship, hold adult education discussions weekly, church school for children on Sundays, and encourage participation in the choir. Church members provide leadership and the lay council manages the church operation through a variety of committees. All important decisions are made by vote of the members of the Church. We welcome new members from all faith traditions.
