Welcome to the Ecumenical Community of Chautauqua (ECOC). We are a community of religious inclusion and compassion, providing hospitality and affordable accommodations and promoting dialogue, fellowship, and growth.

As a non-profit organization, we offer low-cost housing to individuals and families of all faiths during the 9-week season at Chautauqua Institution. Our three buildings, which have a total of 48 rooms and two apartments, are located within steps of the Amphitheater in the heart of Chautauqua. Our community kitchens allow guests to prepare their own meals, enjoy lively discussions, and form new friendships.
