Sunday School
The Sunday school is guided by a lead teacher and an education committee of six people. The Sunday school follows a Biblically-based curriculum that seeks to teach children basic bible stories and other lessons of Christian living.
Baptism and Confirmation
In the United Church of Christ, and here at Bridgewater Congregational Church, baptism and confirmation are sacred milestones in a lifelong journey of faith and belonging.
Baptism is the outward sign of God’s grace—an act of welcome into the covenant community. In the UCC, baptism is offered to people of all ages, including infants, as a testimony that God’s love comes before our ability to understand or respond. It is a gift of belonging, marking a person as beloved in Christ and embraced by the church family.
Confirmation is a time of intentional faith formation and personal affirmation. For youth or adults who were baptized as infants or children, confirmation offers the opportunity to claim for themselves the promises made on their behalf, deepening their understanding of faith, exploring questions, and publicly affirming their commitment to follow Christ within the life of the church.
Together, baptism and confirmation reflect the heart of Bridgewater Congregational Church, United Church of Christ: a community where God’s grace is freely given, faith is nurtured over a lifetime, and all are invited to grow in love, justice, and belonging.
Those seeking baptism or confirmation for their children should speak with the pastor.
On Tuesday mornings at 9:30am in the Fellowship Hall, there is an ongoing Book Study - Seekers. The books read are diverse and encourage deep discussion by all.
Bible Study is led by Pastor Abby throughout the year. Participants engage in discussions and questions as the meaning of the scriptures are considered for the people to whom they were first written as well as their current implications.
