Located across from the Avon Public Library on Country Club Road, the West Avon Congregational Church is guided by the principle that every church member is a minister, and that caring for one another is central to ministry. Dr. Brian Hardee is the current minister. West Avon Church is very involved in community outreach, with numerous charitable missions. The church is part of the United Church of Christ, which has about 1.5 million members, as well as the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ, consisting of 253 churches and 97,000 churchgoers, according to the church website.
