EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
No matter who you are, and no matter what is going on in your life, we want you to feel welcome at the Avon Federated Church and at all of our activities. Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. We, also, sponsor many special events throughout the year. You are invited to attend these events! These events will be posted under the Announcements tab.
WHO ARE WE?
The Avon Federated Church traces its history to the very first settlers of the Avon area. Our first worship services were held in Avon cabins and barns in the 1830's and 1840's.
We are a group of Christians who have come together from several different church backgrounds. We believe that faith is a deeply personal matter that is best left to each person to work out privately with God. Thus, we do not tell people what they must believe. Instead, we try to help one another as (together) we seek to find answers to questions regarding God, Jesus, faith and everyday life.
Our church is affiliated with two denominations, the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
OUR PURPOSE
The following is from the preamble to our local "Articles of Federation"--adopted in 1928:
"The purpose of the Federated Church shall be the teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a way of life, the public worship of God, the expression of the Christian spirit in the spreading of the gospel among all peoples and the encouragement of such social matters as may tend to the upbuilding of the home community. In teaching, disputed points shall be left up to the individual conscience and the individual responsibility before God, advising only that each be true to him or herself."
OUR GOALS
We have three major goals at the Avon Federated Church:
1. Worship God
2. Spread the Good News
3. Upbuild the Community
Feel free to visit us and to join us as we try to do those three things. Everyone is welcome!
