For nearly 400 years Center Church has been a sacred space where faith and life intersect. We believe that we are called to live out our faith in the world and to offer a vision of justice, equality, and human dignity to our society. Following the example of the Hebrew prophets, embodying the healing ministries of Christ and proclaiming the liberating message of the Gospel, we seek to find an unqualified link between our faith and our calling to heal the world.

Throughout the year, we offer opportunities to our members, friends and neighbors to find out how, together, we can work to promote changes in the church, in the city and in the nation that can sustain our vision for a more just, equal and freer human family.

Center Church is Committed to Building a Better Community

Center Church is a proud founding member of the Greater Hartford Interfaith Action Alliance (“GHIAA”) As a member of GHIAA, we have a core team that helps to organize the congregation and the community around actionable issues that help to make the Greater Hartford region a more just and equitable place. Find our more information about GHIAA, the past and current issues, and it’s parent organization, the Center for Leadership and Justice at www.cljct.org.

Center Church is in partnership with Hands On Hartford, an social service nonprofit organization that works with our neighbors in the areas of food, housing and health. Founded in 1969 as Center City Churches, Hands on Hartford has a long history and reputation of strengthening community in Hartford and responding faithfully to people in need, changing lives and renewing human possibility.
