SUNDAYS AT 9 AM & 10:45 AM
PLAN YOUR VISIT
We believe that a good local church is the best solution to many of the problems in society. When isolation, division, and despair shape our lives, the church can provide the deep connections with God and with a loving community that our hearts long for.
We hope you will experience a sense of connection with God and community for yourself and children. We invite you to share our vision to know Christ and make him known.
Have questions? We have the answers!
We are located on the north side of Greenwich. Just a couple of miles off of exit 31 off the Merritt Parkway. 202 Taconic Road, Greenwich.
On Sundays, we have two morning services at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM. During the month of August, we have one service at 10:00 AM.
The main entrance to the Sanctuary is to the left as you enter the driveway. Handicap parking is available just past the Sanctuary entrance.
Absolutely! Intergenerational discipleship is a core aspect of who we are. On Sunday mornings, there are both Kids Ministries (grade 5 and below) and Student Ministries (grade 6 and above) which start about 20 minutes into the worship service. There is also infant and toddler care during most of our programs. Throughout the week, there are other age appropriate activities. Please check out the Student and Kids Ministry pages as well as the Events page to get involved or contact the staff in charge of the programs.
Sunday morning worship services begin with the singing of hymns and praise music, recitation of historic creeds, and the giving of tithes and offerings. We then move into a time of prayer and announcements, followed by a scriptural reading and preaching of the Bible. We celebrate the Lord's Supper (Communion) every week and close with a hymn or song, followed by a time of fellowship and refreshments.
If you are interested in serving or being more involved in any way, you can connect with one of our pastors or staff members after a Sunday service or by calling the office at 203-661-4420.
Life Groups are essential in getting connected in a church. To join a life group, you can email Craig Packnick, or visit our life group page to find a group that suits you.
Vision
To Know Christ and to Make Him Known
Mission
We are called to advance the kingdom of Jesus Christ in Fairfield and Westchester counties as a Christ-centered community rooted in Biblical truth, using gospel proclamation, intergenerational discipleship, Spirit-filled worship and prayer, leadership empowerment, and missional engagement,
for the glory of God.
OUR HISTORY
God’s plan for Stanwich is so much bigger than we ever imagined. Within our walls He has assembled a growing congregation with diverse talents and gifts, each playing a key role in the life of a back-country church that continues to step out boldly in faith to build His kingdom. Now we have received this amazing blessing of a beautiful new building right down the street from our original site. As we continue this next chapter of our history with gratitude and joy, we ask God to bless us with renewed faith, so that Stanwich will continue to be a light not only in the back country of Greenwich but in Stamford and beyond. That light is the love of Jesus Christ, and it will never go out.
Transitional Co-Lead Pastor
Chuck has served in vocational ministry for over 35 years. He has served as a small church pastor in the U.S. and France, a missionary church planter in Mali, West Africa, and a seminary professor at Alliance Theological Seminary and other schools. From 2007-2018 he served as the Senior Pastor of Stanwich Church, and transitioned so that he could partner with his wife of 40 years, Dr. Ingrid Davis, in an itinerant ministry focused on the development and care of leaders called Global Lead.
Transitional Co-Lead Pastor
Heather grew up in Greenwich and started attending Stanwich in her early 20’s. She has served in many arenas, including on a church staff, teaching at and co-founding a graduate school, long-term care chaplaincy and directing a faith-based counseling center, Greenwich Center for Hope and Renewal. She was called to Stanwich in 2018 as Pastor of Care and Connection. Heather and her husband Mark have three children (young adults), Douglas, Catie and Alyse.
Director of Spiritual Formation
Gina first came to Stanwich Congregational Church in 2017 as a pastoral intern before she became the Stamford campus director in 2018. Gina is passionate about helping people encounter God's love through the power of Word and prayer. She longs to see people saved, healed, transformed and fully walk in their God-given purpose. In her spare time, Gina enjoys traveling, writing songs and spending quality time with husband Graham and friends.
MUSIC
Although we seek to worship God every day in the way we live our lives, there is always something special that happens when we come together for corporate worship on Sundays.
Music has a way of drawing us into the presence of God. Whether we are singing a traditional hymn that has been sung for hundreds of years or learning a new praise song, we seek to glorify God and praise Him through the use of song, instrument and voice. At Stanwich, we offer both traditional and contemporary styles of music at our Sunday services.
MEMBERSHIP
For us - and for you, we hope - membership at Stanwich means uniting with others who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and share the desire to live, learn and grow according to the teachings of the Bible, and become an active participant, letting God lead us as a faith community.
