Sayville Congregational United Church of Christ

About Us
Sayville Congregational United Church of Christ is a progressive Christian covenant community serving the South Shore since 1858. Located in a historic building, we are anything but old-fashioned! An “Open and Affirming” congregation, we welcome the LGBT community, not to mention scientists, thinkers, skeptics and refugees from other traditions. De-churched, re-churched and un-churched, we’re just plain folks looking for a fulfilling way of life, a motley crew that laughs, cooks and plays together. Join us to see how life on the Way of Jesus can change your life… then help us change the world!
Our mission, as defined by scripture, is to deepen our own faith through worship and faith development, to make disciples by sharing the joy we find in living as members of a Christian covenant community, and to build the just and caring Kingdom of God through prophetic witness, direct action, and through care of the vulnerable and impoverished.
SCUCC is lead by a Unicameral Board made up of members and is served by our pastor, the Rev. J. Gary Brinn.
