For generations, on both sides of the Post Road, The Saugatuck Congregational Church has provided not only a place of meeting for the Christian worship of God and for instructions in faith, but also for an exchange of ideas and the challenges of society. Originally the site of Westport's first town meeting, the church continues to hold its doors open to the needs of many people. Currently, there a

re more than 50 different 12-Step Groups meeting daily in various facilities, and the church is host to a Scout Troop, a nursery school, and various other community groups. The congregation is dedicated to the goal of providing a safe, functional, comfortable and appealing house of worship and rooms and facilities that will enhance the work of all who seek and have need of this premise. Since 1832, The Saugatuck Church has called 23 pastors and 25 student, assistant and associate ministers to serve the congregation. We are blessed to have strong leadership in religious education for our children, small groups for adults and inspirational music sung by adult and children's choirs during weekly services. Our outreach to the community and worldwide is very important in our missions. We rejoiced last year, 2012, in celebrating 180 years of worship in Saugatuck Congregational Church. A story, with God's help, both treasured and continued. Our hope and our vision is to be:

“A community of Christ, welcoming all people and learning to love both God and neighbor.”

The steeple of The Saugatuck Church continues to stand tall, beckoning all who wish to share in this work to come through its open doors and then to serve in the world.

“The glory of the Lord, filled the Lord's house… and they worshipped and gave thanks to the Lord.”

Our Women’s Retreat last weekend was a beautiful time of connection, renewal, and joy. From meaningful conversations and healing prayer to moments of laughter, rest, and reflection, it was a weekend that nourished both heart and spirit.

Grateful for the fellowship shared and the space to slow down, reconnect, and be renewed together. 💙

On Saturday, our church Missions Board partnered with the Westport Rotaries to host a meal-packing event supporting local food pantries. Together, volunteers packed enough breakfast meals to serve 12,500 people—an incredible impact in just a few hours.

These meals were distributed to the Gillespie Center in Westport, Open Door Shelter in Norwalk, and a pantry in Wilton, helping to nourish neighbors across our community.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to make this meaningful outreach possible!
