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.
