”We are vital to one another, and we are partners in the expanding work of God’s Spirit.
We are on this journey together, and we each have a role in this story.

Rev. Brent NewberryPastor

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been holding services and church-wide events online.  This summer we transitioned to outdoor services on the front lawn, and this September we transitioned to in-person services inside the sanctuary. Masks and social distancing are required for all while inside the church building, regardless of vaccination status. All services will also continue to be livestreamed on Facebook Live and the website. Our COVID Task Force meets every month to update our guidelines for services and other events based on infection rates in our community. The priority that informs our process is inspired by our inclusive beliefs. We profess that everybody is somebody to God and to us. This is why we chose to wait to reconvene in-person gatherings until everybody was safe to return together.

You are essential—to God and to us.

We are a community of believers who seek to grow in our faith and understanding as we live the Way of Jesus Christ.

We are a diverse community of people seeking to follow the Way of Jesus Christ. We are old, young and middle-aged; conservative, liberal and free spirits; gay, straight and uniquely ourselves; new immigrants and many-generation Worcesterites; dreamers, learners, artists, thinkers and do-ers.

We come together to share worship, lively conversations, stimulating projects, laughter, joys and tears. We argue and make up. We reach out to each other when we are in need.
