The ability to remain securely housed, have enough food to feed your family, keep the electricity on, and make ends meet is becoming increasingly difficult. There are so many in our wider community who are struggling to keep up. If this sounds like you, know that you do not suffer alone.
​
Here at Living Faith UMC we are able to help with food, furniture, clothing, showers, and spiritual support, amongst others. We wish we could do more and be a one stop shop of grace for all needs; but unfortunately we are unable to assist with larger sums of money, like rent payments or utility bills. We advise calling 2-1-1 for those resources. It takes a village, be kind to one another.
resurrection in motion
What happened in the tomb does not stay there. Resurrection has wheels. It takes flight. Easter moves.
​
This Easter season we are following after Jesus as he never stops moving from the tomb to the very ends of the earth. Join us and discover how resurrection causes us to move from our own tombs to the very ends of what we once thought possible.
​
Learn alongside us, find a community to call home, and celebrate the risen Lord with us each and every Sunday at 10am. He is risen! He is risen indeed!

WHAT DRIVES US?
Well...love. There you have it. We believe God is love and when we love one another then we are fulfilling our purpose and making this town and this world a better place in the process. So that's what we do. We don't make you join or rebaptize you or call out your sins or shout out fire and brimstone -- there's already so much of that going on.
Not us. Instead: we accept you, we affirm you, we make sure you have what you need to survive, and together we look out and go out to serve those most in need. That's our mission. It's simple and yet takes a lifetime to do well, but we believe Jesus would do that. We think that's what love looks like. So, stop by and find out. Amen?
One of the central invitations of Jesus' ministry is to help our neighbors -- that means you! Here at Living Faith UMC we live out our faith each and every day in service to our wider community through a number of ministries. Check them out by clicking the link below and consider this an invitation to get involved.
WE ARE A CHURCH WITH A MISSION TO HELP
GIVE LOVE HERE
Help us bless Northeastern CT by blessing this faith community with your support. Now support comes in all forms: time, talents, and treasures too. Time and talents are most important, but the hard thing is most of us are busy! We barely have enough time for our friends, family, and ourselves. We know that well.
So if you are busy, then the next best thing is supporting Living Faith through financial gifts. Any gift goes right back into serving your neighbors who are most in need and most dependent on the ministries of this church.
Consider giving one time or becoming a sustaining steward of the church through recurring donations each month. Every gift helps spread love, grace, hope, and good news to those who need it!
