We are writing a new story with a new name - COMMUNITY CONGREGATIONAL UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST.
Over 322 years of ministry came together when Congregational United Church of Christ of Amherst and First Congregational United Church of Christ of Lorain merged on July 1. While the ministry will be centered in the Amherst building at 379 S. Main, the merged congregation will continue the Lorain congregation’s passion for ministering to people of need in both cities, as the congregation's Mission Statement indicates:
"With the grace of God, we will cultivate a compassionate community that loves like Jesus, grows in faith, and serves those in need."
