West Parish

Be known. Be loved. Be inspired!

We welcome you to West Parish, no matter where you are on life's journey!

Welcome! Thanks for visiting our website! And we invite you to visit us in person, either on a Sunday morning or for any of our events!

We are a progressive and open faith community – so no matter what you believe, or what your family looks like, or where you're from, you are invited to journey with us as we seek the holy and build a more just and peaceful world.

Come join us, and see how vibrant, authentic and relevant church can be!

Welcome from the pastor!

West Parish Church is such a vibrant and diverse community — I am so grateful to be serving here!

We are small enough that we can really welcome you, and large enough to make things happen! So whether you’re unfamiliar with church and looking to try it out, or you have been away from Christianity for a while, or you’re new to the area and seeking a spiritual home, we will be delighted to have you join us!

At West Parish, there is nothing that you “must” believe — our faith and religious backgrounds are diverse, and we are all on our own journey. So whatever your doubts or questions, whatever your hopes and prayers, you are welcome!
