~ WHO WE ARE ~
West Center Congregational Church is nearly 100 years young and we are still going strong.
An open and affirming congregation, West Center joyously welcomes all.
Our church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ, a progressive, main-line Protestant denomination established in 1957. The United Church of Christ distinguished itself as the first mainline denomination to ordain a person of African descent (1785), the first to ordain a woman (1853), and the first to ordain an openly gay man (1972).
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, Rev. Kris E. Watson
are insightful, challenging,theologically sound,biblically based, socially relevant and inspiring.
We have magnificent organ and an outstanding Music Director/Organist, Arnold Ostlund, Jr.,
a graduate of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia.
Each week our professional quartet and volunteer Choir sing beautiful classic and contemporary music.
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 here.
Devotion and Silent Meditation are held at 9:45-10:00 am , Service is at 11:00 am, and Church School for children is available and also at 11 am during the school year. Coffee and Conversations with the Pastor after service highlight a variety of spiritual topics.
