Who we are
We are the only church on Chebeague Island. As such, our congregation includes people from many denominational traditions - United Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and more. We also host a Catholic Communion Service on Saturdays at 4 PM. We strive to be open to the many traditions that comprise our island community; in this way, we truly are a Community Church.
If you are looking for a community of faith to journey with, a place to ask questions or share your doubts, a place of support, hope, and encouragement, you are welcome with us.
Learn more about our Core Values - principles that we strive to embody as we are in ministry with our friends and neighbors on the island for the sake of each other and the world.
