In the spring of 1999 the eight houses of worship in the greater Woodbury area joined together to create "Woodbury People of Faith". This is an interfaith effort to provide opportunities for better understanding, a common witness to our community and to host interfaith events for the people of the Woodbury area.
The following congregations make up People of Faith:
In 2005 Woodbury People of Faith joined with the First Congregational Church in hosting an ecumenical "Summit" engaging people in our area with scholars from Hartford Theological Seminary as we dealt with the theme "Religion, Source of Conflict, Source of Hope". Additional events in 2005 were the sponsorship of a Block Party, which all congregations had a booth on Main Street during the event, and a Crop Walk, which all congregations sponsored walkers from their congregations. Some of the proceeds from the Crop Walk were given to GWIM (Greater Waterbury Interfaith Ministry's and the Woodbury Community Services Council.
