Community Church of Providence is a place where you are free to be yourself.
Community Church of Providence is a place where you are free to be yourself. Like the city of Providence, we are a global community and a close knit one. Diverse in ethnicity, history, worship styles and theology, we come together to follow Jesus and form deep and caring relationships, creating a space for community to grow. Our worship is friendly and casual with an eclectic blend of musical styles, interactive time for children, and engaging preaching. Rooted in the idea of “soul freedom,” we honor and celebrate the story of each person. We would love to hear yours!
We’re glad you’re here! This is a great place to start for some of our general information. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any specific questions!
Our nursery for children 0-3 is available from 9:30 am – 12:00 pm.
Children 4 and up attend the beginning of worship with their parents and may go together to Sunday School after the Children’s Message. If you need a separate space, a rocking chair is provided in the vestibule at the back, along with a children’s “Pray-ground” of coloring books and quiet toys.
Every Sunday @ 10:00 am. We love the sights and sounds of children, and all children are welcome in the worship service! Sunday School is held during service.

On Sunday mornings, all doors to the church are unlocked after 9:15 am and the Sanctuary is easy to enter from every door. There is an accessible entrance located on Wayland Avenue with a ramp. The closest parking spot for the accessible entrance is at the far end of the parking lot, adjacent to the Wayland Avenue entrance.
The church office is open during the week, Tuesday thru Friday, 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. On weekdays, use the rear door located by the parking lot or the accessible entrance on Wayland Avenue. Both of these doors have bells to ring for entry.
Yes, we have weekly Sunday School for children ages 4 and up and a nursery for children 0-3.
All ages of children are invited to attend worship with their families at 10 am. Near the beginning of the service, there is a Children’s Message, and then children go upstairs together with their teachers for Sunday School.
We have periodic events for families and children, such as apple-picking and hayrides in the fall, a weeklong Vacation Bible School and Service Trips in the summer. Each December there is a Children’s Christmas Program.
