MESSAGE FROM

THE PASTOR

Welcome to West Parish! 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!

-Katrina

FAQ

Have questions? We have the answers!

What time is the worship service?

In-Person worship services are held in the Sanctuary at 10am. Virtual, Live-Stream services are also available. Services are approximately 1 hour long.

What are your services like?

Our worship services blend tradition with innovation! Our hour long services vary, but typically include a scripture reading, reflective thoughts from Rev. Katrina and prayers of joys and concerns.

What if I have never been to a UCC Church before? Can I attend?

Yes! We welcome everyone – whether or not you have been to a UCC (United Church of Christ) Church before. You are welcome if you haven’t been to church in a long time, if you used to attend a different type of church, or if you’ve never been to church at all! You are welcome if you’re not sure what you believe, or if you are seeking deeper connection.

What should I wear?

On a typical Sunday at West Parish, you’ll find folks in jeans and sneakers, along with those in sport coats, slacks and dresses. On Sundays in the Fall, you’ll also find people proudly wearing their Red Sox, Patriots or other sport team jerseys! Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in!

Where do I go?

We are located at the intersection of Route 133 and Reservation Road in Andover. We recommend you park in the lot in front of the church at 129 Reservation Road, and then enter the church thru the front doors by the steeple.

What is in a church bulletin?

The bulletin details the order of the service. For example, it will detail the scripture and prayers we'll say together. It varies by week, and also contains information on church events.

Where do I sit during the service?

Please sit in an available pew. Please ask an usher if you have any questions.

Can I bring my infant/children to Church with me?

Yes! Infants are toddlers are always welcomed in our worship services. Also - our nursery is open and staffed by vaccinated high school students.

Do you have a choir?

Absolutely! We have a fantastic choir who gather for rehearsals in the Sanctuary on the first and third Wednesday of the month.

What do I do after the church service is complete?

We welcome everyone to join us in a casual coffee hour after church outside. You can casually chat with folks or Rev. Katrina. People typically stay for 15 to 30 minutes, and it is a lovely way to get to know members of the West Parish community.
