We have great diversity in our faith, but are bound together by our open and honest search for meaning.

"Being an active member of West Parish gives me the opportunity to share my some of my gifts, my talents, in a meaningful way – and in a way that feeds my soul: Singing, playing the guitar, working with the youth, even leading a service now and then."
