Hingham Congregational Church, United Church of Christ

Hingham Congregational Church is an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ. It describes itself as theologically progressive and solidly Christian, taking the Bible seriously but not literally. The church aims for a warm, mutually supportive atmosphere where questions are encouraged and spiritual growth comes first. It explicitly welcomes people of every race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

Beyond Sunday services, the church hosts community events such as a S’mores & Sing gathering, and it runs outreach efforts, including a Halloween costume drive benefiting Interfaith Social Services. An online blog, which the church calls its digital fellowship hall, shares the voices, outreach work and spiritual journeys of members and friends of the congregation. The church invites newcomers to become part of its community.
