Welcome...  

. . . to the Western Region of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ!

The congregations of the Western Region of the Conference are rich in history, but are not rooted in the past - the gospel of Jesus Christ is being lived out here in exciting new ways!  While proud of their heritage, the aim of our congregations and associations is to sing a new song in a new day for a new age. 

God is certainly still speaking in and through the vital congregations of our four associations!  In hill towns and cities, in small towns and suburbs, in large and small membership congregations, in the Berkshires and up and down the Pioneer Valley, you can hear the Good News of great joy being shared through worship and service, education and mission. 

I have been blessed to serve this area for over four years.  I hope you will have the same opportunity I've had to visit and discover how the Word is being made flesh in and through the churches of western Massachusetts.  On behalf of the area, let me say that,

“No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey,

you are welcome here!"

Shalom,

Peter Wells (the one in the middle)
