Facilities

 

At First Congregational Church of Danbury we are blessed with a beautiful sanctuary – as you can see from our picture gallery.  It holds 300 people and the acoustics are exceptional – important since we have a wonderful 1959 Aeolian-Skinner organ and a Knable grand piano to accompany a terrific choir. 

 

Behind the sanctuary are Pilgrim Hall, our classrooms, and offices.  Pilgrim Hall is where we gather after church for fellowship and snacks.  We also hold events here for the congregation and the community, sometimes educational, others simply entertainment.  Recently we had several interactive sessions on the major religions of the world, another on the healthcare crisis affecting our country today, and we also had a game night just for fun.  Next to and above Pilgrim Hall, we have several more classrooms.  Some of these rooms are available for reasonable rent.  If you are interested, please contact us at info@firstchurchdanbury.org.

 

We feel strongly about the need to provide a meeting place for the community to come together to hear about issues that are important to us.  As an urban church we should be the place where community voices can be heard and where people can get help to overcome the many obstacles people face today:

  • Just what is it we should be doing about the immigration situation and homelessness from a faith and values perspective? 

  • Is it possible for everyone to have healthcare without the country going broke?   

  • What does the Bible say about alternative lifestyles and the making of war?  

  • Is the pollution problem just junk science or do we need to do something?

There are many people working on these questions from the political perspective but in downtown Danbury, we are becoming a major forum for examining these questions from a religious and moral perspective.  Please keep checking back with this website’s Events page to see what’s next on the schedule and join us whenever possible.  Additionally, if you have suggestions for future topics, please email them to info@firstchurchdanbury.org.  If we keep working together, Danbury can be an even more special place to live!
