Welcome to the Pakachoag Church

Pakachoag Church is located atop Pakachoag Hill in the north end of Auburn, nearly at the Worcester City line. The church is easily accessible from Routes 12, 20, Interstate 290, or the Massachusetts Turnpike.

Known for its welcoming manner, and its active engagement with those beyond its doors, Pakachoag stands in the forefront of churches that are actively working to enhance the quality of life in the wider community.

We are a member congregation of the United Church of Christ. Our faith stance and organizational principles are grounded in New England Congregationalism, which emphasizes the individual's role in determining his or her own belief structure. Lay governance and leadership have always been a vital element in shaping the character of Pakachoag Church.

With historical roots tracing back to the English Reformation, our worship is traditional, yet is adapted so that it is accessible and engaging. We enjoy abundant musical resources, and a singularly attractive building, and utilize those resources to full advantage in worship.

The community is diverse and welcomes persons from all backgrounds. We are Open and Affirming (ONA), meaning we extend ourselves without reservation to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons. Children are very present at Pakachoag, and family participation is encouraged in every aspect of our Church life.

We invite you to explore this website, and hope it serves as a starting point for you in getting to know us better.
