Edgewood United Church is part of the United Church of Christ, a denomination of about 6,000 churches nationwide (www.ucc.org). Edgewood is just over 50 years old and was formed as an offshoot of The People’s Church in 1953. A small group began meeting in Marble School and then built the church on Hagadorn Road, what was then the far edges of the Lansing/East Lansing area.

Currently Edgewood has over 500 members and about 200 people gather to worship on Sunday mornings. Edgewood is quite diverse in its membership and members and visitors come from across the Lansing area.

Throughout its history Edgewood has focused on social justice and working for change in the community and in the world. Over the years Edgewood folks have been involved in building low income housing, advocating for health care reform, supporting the civil rights movement, pushing for open housing in  East Lansing, advocating for gay, lesbian and transgendered civil rights and much more.

Edgewood folks also seek to deepen their personal faith lives, support one another in the church, and to have a good time together.
