At the heart of our life together is: WORSHIP, which is lively in style yet traditional in form, and enhanced by an enthusiastic and inspired choir. LEARNING, which is offered in adult study groups and Sunday School, and FELLOWSHIP, which is warm and welcoming for all.
Though our current brick-and-stone house of worship was built in 1847, this congregation has been worshiping on Weybridge Hill since 1794. We invite you to come — and celebrate God’s presence, seek God’s word for your life, offer your gifts, and share in a caring and inclusive community of God’s people.

The Bridport Congregational Church is a community of people who experience the unconditional love of God through a relationship with Jesus Christ, develop that love while we grow together as a family of believers, and share that love with the world through gracious witness and compassionate action. Visit our Sunday worship service at 10:30 a.m. to experience our vibrant blend of the contemporary and traditional. Our children worship and learn during our 9:30 Sunday School with Sprouts for preschoolers and WOW for elementary school students. We also provide a nursery for infants and toddlers during the worship service. We are located across from the Bridport town green on Middle Road, 1/4 mile west of VT Route 22A. Call us at 758-2227.
