WHO WE ARE
The Federated Church of
Hyannis is an independent, interdenominational church that came into being
in 1917 as a result of the merger between a Congregational and a
Universalist congregation.
While we have no denominational affiliation, all of our
pastors have been ordained by the United Church of Christ - in New England
generally known as the Congregational Church - whose origins go back to the
Pilgrims and other religious dissenters who founded Plimoth Plantation and
the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
We are a church family with active programs in worship, music,
fellowship and mission. Our radio ministry is
broadcast over WOCN (104.7 FM) every Sunday morning at 7:05. The Lobster
Roll Luncheon served every Friday in the summer has been a fixture on the
Cape for a half a century.
Situated on Main Street in the heart of Hyannis, this church
is the site of many church and community events. Our congregation is active
in ministering to the community in the name and manner of Christ through
things such as hosting
the annual Martin Luther King observance and as a site for
the Overnights of Hospitality for homeless men and women.
In addition we provide space for the Cape Cod Council of Churches,
Youth StreetReach,
A Baby Center,
the Barnstable Human Rights Commission,
the Bridge to Hope program for incarcerated women,
and a Spanish speaking congregation as well as a Portuguese speaking congregation.
