Serving the communities of Andover, Bolton, Colchester, Columbia, Coventry, Hebron, Lebanon, and Marlborough, Connecticut

Where ordinary people are doing extraordinary things.

Our purpose is to provide information, help and inspiration to Internet explorers. We hope you'll find features that will make you want to bookmark our site as a favorite location. If you're looking for a church home, we'd love to have you become part of our parish family.

If you're already an active member of a church, then we ask for your prayers as we try to make the Good News of Jesus Christ known to those who travel through cyberspace.

Organized in 1734, we have a long and wonderful history — and yet we’re a modern, active congregation, with all of the worship, programs, and activities you would expect to find in any Episcopal church.

We have a flourishing Sunday School, adult Christian education programs, Bible discussion and study, retreats, quiet days, fellowship groups, prayer groups, and a long list of activities that reach out to people in need.

Welcome!
