Come worship with us!

God has directed us to follow Christ. And the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come…” So, we have been born again as... Northford Community Church! 

Just over a year ago, our church was, for all practical purposes, “dead.” We had stopped following God and His Word, and our Sunday attendance had fallen to just six to eight people. But we serve a great God. Through faithfulness and obedience to His Word, God has breathed new life into our church. Today, we are blessed to be a growing church family, led by our Pastor, John Vigneri. We consider everyone who joins us to be part of our church family.

Our services are centered and focused on the Word of God, the Bible, and its truth.  We believe that we all must believe and practice the tenets, the commandments of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in our daily walk. We are to become disciples of Jesus as He, our Lord and Savior, has commanded us.

And we understand that "No one is perfect, and we all have fallen short of God's glory" and that God LOVES you and He has a purpose, a plan for your life, if you are willing to repent, accept Him and His plan for you!

We also believe that NONE are too far gone, or have done something so sinful, that if they truly repent and are "born again" as Jesus commands us to be, God will forgive you...Amen!

We are called to LOVE God with all of our heart, our souls, our mind and our strength and love all others. We Believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord, our Savior, our Messiah, and our God and that is the cornerstone of our faith. NCC believes in developing true disciples of Jesus, as our Lord commanded, and as such we are called to carry the Good News, the Gospel, the Word of God, to the entire world and make disciples of ALL nations. ALL are always welcome to join our church family and to become part of God's family. 

Our mission is to share God's Word, God's Spirit and as Jesus commands as well as God's love, God's faith, God's peace, God's joy, God's kindness, God's gentleness and all the fruits and the gifts of the Holy Spirit through:

• God's Word and Jesus's commandments as presented in the  Bible.
• By becoming and making Jesus loving and obeying disciples.
• Providing our community and beyond with biblical knowledge of the Word, praise, worship, fellowship, love, compassion and manifesting the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit in our lives for other people to see and experience.
• Continuing to grow in our knowledge of God and His Word, our understanding of God and His Word and the Tenants of Jesus through reading God's Word, devotion, prayer, meditation on God's Word, Biblical education, worship, praise and fellowship.
• Educating, embracing, and nurturing children as a valued part of our church family and the future of our church as the bible directs us to.
• Sharing the gifts that God has blessed each of us and our church with.
• Serving and participating in and with our local and global communities as directed by God.

We pray the Holy Spirit will guide, direct, and powerfully move our services, our missions, our outreach and will foster continued growth and knowledge of God, in our God centered lives and His church.

A brief history on our church building...The Sanctuary is the recognizable brownstone Church on the hill in Northford, Connecticut. Founded on June 13, 1750. The present edifice was designed by noted New Haven architect Henry Austin and built in 1846.  Gutted by fire on Christmas Eve in 1906, the church was rebuilt and rededicated in 1908. Our building is on the National Register of Historic Buildings, and a stop on the Totoket Historical Society tour of the village.

Matthew 5:14

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."
