FAQs
What Should I Wear?
Brookfield Congregational Church has a ‘come as you are’ atmosphere. Some members of the congregation dress up, some dress casually, some dress in between. It's your choice.
What is a Sunday Service Like?
Our 10 AM Sunday service offers inspiring worship and Biblical teaching, relevant to everyday life. Click here to watch past services on our YouTube channel. Our outstanding music ministry blends traditional and contemporary music. Each worship service lasts about an hour. A time of fellowship follows worship, open to all, with coffee and treats in the Gathering Room, just down the hall from the Sanctuary. Join us for coffee and casual conversation.
When is Communion & Who is Invited to Participate?
Communion is served the first Sunday of the month. We practice an open communion -- meaning everyone is invited to share in the sacrament. Children may participate upon discretion of a parent/guardian.
Options for Children Visitors on Sunday Mornings
Children are welcome to join us in the Sanctuary on Sunday mornings. Ushers can assist in providing you and your child with an Activity Bag (small fabric bag) with coloring pages and crayons.
Younger children, ages 0-4, can have fun in the Nursery every Sunday morning. Nursery Care is provided by a Nursery Attendant who is a church staff member. Ushers can help you locate the Nursery. The Nursery Attendant will check-in your child and ask for your cell phone number, just in case the need arises to contact you during worship. You can stay in the Nursery with your child, if you wish. The worship service can be heard through speakers in the Nursery.
Our Children’s Church program is designed for youth ages pre-K through 6th grade. Our curriculum is hands-on and mission-based. Throughout the school year we plan intergenerational events that support local nonprofits. Children visitors are welcome to join Children’s Church for any event or they can worship with you in the sanctuary. Learn more about Children's Church by signing up to receive our weekly electronic newsletter. See link below.
Do You Have Special Accommodations?
Ask an Usher if you wish to use a hearing-assisted device; it's available in the Narthex (lobby). Feel free to take a seat cushion for your comfort; it's available in the first pew as you enter the Sanctuary. A wheelchair accessible restroom is available at the far end of the Gathering Room. Our Library and Nursery are equipped with sound systems for you to be able to listen to the live worship service when not in the Sanctuary. Our Ushers can assist you with special accommodations.
Be Sure to Say 'Hello'!
When you visit, don’t forget to say ‘Hi’ to our Pastor, Rev. Laura McLeod. We look forward to meeting you, your family, and answering your questions. We’re so glad you wish to visit Brookfield Congregational Church!
