Our Story
Woodbury Community Church isn't just a name. It's our story; it's who we are. We're a community church, because we're about connection, about relationships, about community. After all, God works when we carry his love into the real world, to share it with real people.
So, when WCC started in 1978, the goal was to build relationships, for people to come together, and see the love of God for themselves. That was the vision our first pastor, Ron Hamilton, shared when he gathered with just a handful of people at the old Howard Johnson, A vision for building real relationships in a divided world.
Then, when our facility was built 14 years later, it was located at the literal heart of Woodbury. After all, our goal is to reach the hearts of our community with the hope that's found in Jesus.
Now, more than 40 years later, we've been through lots of changes, but our goal is the same. We're here to build relationships, to help people connect to God, to each other, and to find a greater purpose together. After all, that's how we become the people we were created to be; that's how we find what we really need.
Come get connected
After all, you know how divided the world is. You know there are hard questions the world can't answer, that you need a better hope than the world can give. The good news is, there is another way. Come, get connected to the God who has the answers you need.

Our Mission
Today, that simple goal of building relationships has become the heart of our Mission as a church. The reason we exist is to Connect to the God who has the answers we need through faith in Jesus, to Connect to each other in real relationships that help us grow closer to Christ, and Connect to the people around us, caring for others as Jesus cares for us, helping them come to know him. That’s our mission:
Connecting to People.
Growing Together.
Elevating God.
After all, you know how divided the world can be. But God made us to be together, he made us for community. The good news is, when we trust in Jesus, that's exactly what we find. We find real connection to God, restoration, hope, peace, and the promise of a future with him. And we find real connection to each other, real friendship, real support. And we find a new purpose, to go to the people in our lives, to love them in real, powerful ways, and to help them see there's hope for them because of Jesus.
Our Faith
We believe
the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testament, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written.
We believe
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe
in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe
that, for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present evil world.
We believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe
in the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ.
Our Conference
Part of connecting means that we're not in this alone. Since the beginning, WCC has been part of the CCCC, a conference of churches that is focused on building healthy churches where people find their needs met in Jesus.
