Shares a ministry location with South Congregational Church.

Hopeville Church is part of the Congregational family of churches in The American Church Story. 219 congregations of the Congregational family gather across Connecticut — 2,928 across the United States on The Church Map.

The Congregational churches planted the first colleges in America — Harvard and Yale began as their ministers' training grounds — and launched the modern foreign-mission movement from a New England haystack. Their conviction that a gathered congregation can govern itself under Christ is now shared by most churches in the country.

The community around Hopeville Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
