ABOUT US
West Center Church is 101 years young and counting ...
Our church is a member of the progressive, main-line Protestant denomination,
the United Church of Christ (UCC).
We worship in a beautiful, mid-century modern sanctuary with dazzling stained glass windows facing east and south.
Weekly sermons and discussions led by our Pastor, The Rev. John M. Barrett, Yale Divinity School, M. Div.,
are insightful, helpful and challenging, both biblically based and current.
We have magnificent organ and an outstanding Music Director/Organist, Arnold Ostlud, Jr.,
a graduate of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia.
Each week our professional quartet and volunteer Choir sing beautiful classic and contemporary music.
Our United Church of Christ history begins in 1620 with the Pilgrims. Soon our ministers found Harvard and Yale.
In 1739 we help defend the slaves from the Amistad. We are the first Church to ordain an African-American (1785),
a woman (1853) and an openly gay man (1972).
West Center Church is progressive, inclusive, open and friendly.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome.
We worship on Sunday mornings at 11 am all year long.
Church School for children is also at 11 am during the school year.
