United Church is a community of faith seeking to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God. We are open to all people at any stage on their spiritual journey and warmly welcome any who desire to walk in the way of Jesus the Christ.

Sacred Music is an integral part of worship at United Church and an important element of our outreach to the community. United Church has a twenty-five member Vocal Choir, a 4-octave Handbell Choir, two grand pianos, an Italian-style harpsichord and a superb Hillebrand / Moore Pipe Organ.

Our gracefully proportioned 1815 meeting house provides a superb acoustical and visual setting for music in worship and in concert. Our Choir, with a core of professional singers, perform a wide variety of choral music from the Renaissance to the present day. In addition to singing for the church's regular Sunday worship services, the choir presents major works with orchestral accompaniment in several concerts each year. In recent years the choir has performed the complete Christmas Oratorio by J. S. Bach, masses by Mozart, Haydn, Dvorak and Saint-Saëns, Requ

Our Handbell Choir plays for worship services at both United and Center Churches, and plays occasional concerts throughout the community.

The Specification of the Hillebrand / Moore Organ
David Moore began building organs in his own company in 1973, after learning the organ building art in the workshop of Charles Fisk in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Since that time he and his co-workers have built twenty-five new organs and restored more than ten older instruments. His instruments always use mechanical key action and are notable for their finely-crafted casework. From the beginning all pipework has been built in the North Pomfret, Vermont, shop. A higher than usual proportion of pipes are made of wood, and throughout the organs emphasis is placed on use of traditional woods and metals, eschewing the use of plastics and aluminum, which do not have proven durability. The artistic lineage of his organs stems from his deep understanding of nineteenth-century New England organs, as well as from the influence of his teacher, Charles Fisk.

We are open to all people at any stage in their spiritual journey and warmly welcome any who desire to walk in the way of Jesus the Christ.
