Our Congregation

Our 192 racially and economically diverse members live mostly in New London and the surrounding towns within New London County.  Many of our members have belonged to the church since childhood, while we continue to gain new members transferring from other UCC churches and from other denominations.

The youth is an important part of the mission of the Second Congregational Church, with many programs such as: confirmation class, pilgrim fellowship and youth group, and acolytes.  The congregation is also very involved with outreach programs.  Second Church is committed to service and to families.

The Second Congregational Church has had close ties with New London's great whaling history.  To this day the present congregation still maintains its ties with the sea with many members being employed by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics or serving in the Navy or Coast Guard Academy.
