Sackets Harbor

Welcome to beautiful, historic Sackets Harbor and the five churches that comprise the Sackets Harbor Area Ecumenical Council.

Today each of our churches reaches into the life of the community around it, as well as into the larger world beyond Sackets Harbor. The diversity and creativity of ministry conducted by our five churches is a microcosm of the work of the Christian Church worldwide.

We encourage you to get to know us and to help us get to know you. We welcome you to our services of worship and weekday activities.

In the name of Jesus, the Christ, welcome!
