Located in the small picturesque New England town of East Woodstock, CT the East Woodstock Congregational Church (EWCC) has been a welcoming, warm and friendly congregation since 1831.

Boasting roots that date all the back to 1690, The congregation was part of the first Church in Woodstock. Looking for something more the congregation set out on their own and separated from the "Northern Parish" in 1760.

As Woodstock grew the congregation searched for a place to build a more permanent meeting house. A disagreement rose over the site selection and the congregation split into what is now the North Woodstock and East Woodstock Congregational churches.

The church has stood on the same site ever since. In 1938, East Woodstock and most of Connecticut was hit with a major hurricane. When the damage was assisted the church building was demolished. The church steeple dropped right through the roof destroying everything. Everything that is except the Frazee Pipe organ. Only four pipes were out of place. You can still see the dents where these pipes gently rested on the alter.

This miracle provided the impetus to rebuild the church to it existing structure. The pipe organ still leads us in song every sunday as a testament to that congregation.

It was in 1961 that the church congregation voted to become part of the United Church of Christ (UCC). Merging with the Congregational Christian, Evangelical and Reformed Churches. We celebrate where we have been but today we look to the future. You are welcome to visit us anytime...
