The service will have traditional music (we love music) and bible-based preaching with prayer flowing from our hearts. Come as you are and we welcome exuberant children. The service lasts about 65 min and we are handicap accessible.

Loving relationships that are committed to God, accountable to each other, involved in Christ’s transforming work in our world.
Pastor Search for Amber Church
The Amber Congregational Church in Amber NY is looking for a full time permanent pastor. We are a family pastoral country church that is very healthy with 50-60 regular attendance each Sunday and a membership roll of 120+. We operate a debt free budget, supporting a single full-time pastor position. Weekly/monthly activities outside of our Sunday morning worship include bible studies, Sunday school, congregational gatherings, community luncheons, men’s and women's activities, as well as outreach to the local community. The Pastor will lead Sunday morning worship, help direct Sunday School (adult class), lead one bible study during the week, provide pastoral care as needed, and will be responsible for the administration of the church during the week (Note: administration is quite simple for our small church). The church building is very quaint in a lakeside community dating back to the early 1800s and the church maintains a parsonage very close to the church which is available for use. We are affiliated with the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference (CCCC) and describe ourselves as evangelical with moderate theological stances, but all biblically based. Key attributes of the church are 1) Bible based, 2) Egalitarian, and 3) Community focused. We are seeking someone to join us to help provide stability and continuity during our current season.

Participation in Baby Bottle Fundraiser for New Hope Family Services
From Mother's Day to Father's Day, Amber Church will be raising awareness for New Hope Family Services with baby bottle piggy banks set up at church. This will be part of their BABY BOTTLE FUNDRAISER.
A quick “About Us” for New Hope Family Services – they are a pregnancy resource center and a New York State authorized adoption agency. Their free services include counseling, education, pregnancy options, and resources to women and men facing pregnancy decisions.
​​While you can fill the virtual Baby Bottle by giving online, Amber church wants to add increased visibility and fun to this by having the bottle banks set up at church. Add your coins and bills to the large bottles and let’s fill them to overflowing.
Matching funds are also available. For funds placed in the baby bottles, there will be a match up to the first $250 to boost our support to $500. Let’s make if a fun challenge to stuff the bottles and focus on this mission during the two months where we celebrate Mom’s, Dad’s, and families.
