About The Cotuit Federated Church

The Cotuit Federated Church is a federation of the United Church of Christ (www.ucc.org) and the United Methodist Church (www.umc.org). Those desiring full membership decide to join either the UCC or the UMC.

Things we are:

• Caring, compassionate toward our members, especially those who are sick or shut-in, guests and friends as well as the larger community in need.
• Thirsty for spiritual experiences, self discovery and individual "from the heart" prayer.
• The members of the CFC are open, honest, friendly and joyful.
  We are committed to mission work of all kinds including outreach to the greater community.
• The CFC members are excited about the work the small groups are doing – working with homeless, bringing worship into nursing homes and many, many other worthwhile activities while the participants are getting to know each other at a deeper level than ever before.
• We are music lovers who appreciate the choir’s choices of spiritual and uplifting music.
• We see ourselves as open and affirming as we exclude no one from our family.
• We view ourselves as friendly, happy and a joyful group of caring people.

Things we want:

• To explore our faith so as to become better acquainted with God and His plan for us as individuals as well as a congregation.
• For individuals to be given opportunities to be trained, educated and to explore their role in the community at large.
• Open honest leadership from all our leaders.
• Opportunities to get to know each other and God at a deeper level.
• Uplifting, positive, spiritual worship services.
• To train new leaders to do those things they are called to do at CFC – i.e.: Children’s sermons, lay readers, ushers & greeters, 2nd hour leaders, visitors to sick and shut-ins, small group leaders.
• We want to be included and informed of all decisions, celebrations and prayerful needs.
