Welcome to Center Church, the First Church of Christ in Hartford. Founded in 1632, we are a progressive, Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ. We are committed to practicing the teachings of Jesus through ministry to immediate urban needs and by offering visions for a just and equitable society. We’re more than 377 years old, but our thinking is not! God is still speaking,…may we have the ears to listen and the will to act! Summer Sunday Worship Services are held at the Church House, 60 Gold Street (corner of Lewis Street) at 10:00am Whale Watch Trip, Saturday, September 11th!
