Welcome home, and come on in!
  There’s so much going on.

Our church family is 271 years young, a vibrant place that has been at the heart of Darien since the town was founded.  For all the history, what continues to draw newcomers is a message that speaks to people today.  Our members, who come from a variety of backgrounds, value open-mindedness in the search for an authentic, personal faith.  We’re here to connect our stories to the sacred story.

No doubt you have a story to tell, too.  We all look forward to learning more about you – the things you care about, the ways in which you want to grow.  If you’re serious about a spiritual journey, you’ll find good company here.

If you would like to sort out the essential from the merely important, and give your very best to a generous God – this is a good place.  Make yourself at home, and please stay for worship this Sunday morning.  We hope you’ll be well-fed.

Grace and peace, 
         
Larry Wood, Senior Minister, and Shannon Rye Wall, Acting Associate Minister
