Faith that stays curious, community that stays connected, and love that rolls up its sleeves.

Worship with us on Sundays at 10 am.

Join us in our historic Meetinghouse on the corner of Lyme Street & Ferry Road in Old Lyme. Or watch our livestream on YouTube.  View recordings of previous worship services in our Virtual Meetinghouse.

Our community values the things that make each of us unique.

Faith with space to breathe.

The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme is a community that’s asking life’s biggest questions, exploring the sacred, striving to embody love, and working for justice, inclusion, and transformation in our world.

Our church is passionately justice-centered, intentionally intergenerational, actively anti-racist, and wholeheartedly LGBTQ+ affirming.

You are welcome here, just as you are.

Ways to Connect

Worship & The Arts

Traditions are beautiful. So is the art of reimagining them.

Community Care

We don’t have to be all alike or believe alike to be together.

Work for Justice

We believe every act of justice is an expression of God’s love.

Everyone has something valuable to bring to the table.

We are a group project, and we believe your thoughts, ideas, and presence make it even better—no matter your age, history, gender, or marital status.  

Here at FCCOL, we have many opportunities to learn and grow spiritually, to serve our community, and to lead, whether you’re an adult, a child, or a young person. (In fact, one thing we’ve discovered is that our youth are often our best leaders.) 

We also offer lots of ways for families to get involved – and we define family in the broadest sense of the word – those who are together by marriage, by blood, or by choice.
