What does Lyonsville Congregational Church mean to you?

"In a word: family. As simple as that: it is family."

"It's a place where there is so much going on where God's love can shine through. It makes us feel like we have a home here; a feeling of belonging and contributing, doing things for others."

"It's real, it's real."

"So many people here come together to pitch in when help is needed:  fundraising, visiting people who are sick, bringing food to people who are recovering from surgery or illness; it's wonderful. It's a living faith."

"It's a place of caring people; a family of faith."

"All it takes is that one person - and that's what happened to me. A member just grabbed me by the arm and brought me one day.  It can be frightening or intimidating that first time, but everyone was so outgoing, so welcoming that I realized that this is where I belonged."

"Lyonsville helps me grow spiritually. I finally have a place to be where I can grow in my understanding of what Christianity can be. That's what it's about:? following a path with folks that is constantly unfolding."



“I came because my son brought me here in 1955, and I’ve kept coming!”

“Well, we had been looking for a church for some time: it didn’t matter what denomination so much. And when we came here, my husband and I almost didn’t dare to hope. We just looked at one another and said, ‘Can this be it?’ And it was—this was the place! We’ve been here ever since.”

                                                         “I like to see the young folks come here and do things!”

“I never really went to ‘church,’ to be honest. It was only when I began to explore my own family history that I discovered just how much of my own ancestors’ pasts were involved in Lyonsville. So, I guess you could say I returned to my roots. I belong here; and everyone welcomed me ‘back.’”

“Lyonsville helps me grow spiritually. I finally have a place to be where I can grow in my understanding of what Christianity can be. That’s what it’s about: following a path with folks that is constantly unfolding.”
