We are working to keep connected with everyone in the Deering Community Church in person at church or on ZOOM. Our various ministries also use Zoom to meet and make sure that our members, friends and neighbors are cared for and safe, and our church keeps running along as smoothly as possible. Please check our newsletters, our constant contact messages and our Facebook page. These can be sent to you at your e-mail address to keep you up to date.

Sign Up For Email Updates
We have created an additional email newsletter for Deering Community Church, UCC, called Bits n’ Pieces. The purpose of this endeavor is to enhance our communication.  Communication is so vital in any organization. We want everyone interested to know what is happening when decisions are made or proposed. We plan to fill in gaps between our wonderful every other month newsletter and provide breaking news of possible events.
The Deering Community Church rents its facilities. We have:
- A gorgeous acoustically fine Sanctuary for weddings, equipped with a grand piano and electronic organ
- A renovated, fully equipped kitchen with two stoves, dishwasher and cooking/eating utensils
- Sherwood Hall for receptions, functions or meetings
- A “Living Room” for small meetings
- An outdoor Pavilion with picnic tables and large grilling pit
- Horseshoes
Please fill out the rental form and mail or email to the church. Someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible to discuss availability and use.
Feed a Teen Project
The Feed a Teen project continues with about 30 bags packed once each month by volunteers. This task is split among four churches, each taking a Friday delivery of grab and go healthy snack foods to supplement the weekend food of “teens in transition†at the Genesis Youth Center in Hillsboro, who may be homeless or come from families in need. We welcome donations of funds, or supplies such as granola bars, juice boxes, small non-refrigerated microwave-able meals, fruit cups, pudding cups, or individual sacks of nuts. The Genesis Youth Center also welcomes a bowl of apples, oranges or snack veggies to offer their young people. The center is open Mon., Wed., and Fridays. Call for their hours: 464-4145 or 731-4269.
