“The Little Church on the Hill”

Known as the historic “Little Church on the Hill”, New Rye Union Congregational Church stands as a beacon of faith, tradition, and togetherness. Our church, which first began in 1761, is more than just a building; it's a family bound by shared beliefs and a commitment to nurturing spirits and serving our community.

At New Rye, we cherish our roots while embracing the future. Our services reflect a relaxed and traditional style, welcoming all who seek solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. As a member of the United Church of Christ, we are dedicated to inclusivity and helping others, regardless of their background or faith.

Our doors are always open, inviting you to be part of a community where faith is lived, hope is nurtured, and love is shared. Join us in our journey of faith, fellowship, and community service.
