We believe every member of the church is a minister (and every person, for that matter, is an expression and vehicle of God’s love). Our members carry out countless ministries, some known to us and others not.  We also have many “ministry teams” where small groups of participants in our congregation work together to provide a ministry, either within the church or to the world beyond the church, or both.

Below are links to a few of our ministry teams followed by a list of all the teams and the contact person for each.   If you feel called to be part of one of these ministries, or would simply like to know more about the activities of a team, either click on the link below, or call the church office at 413-253-3456.DSC_0986

This team focuses on welcome and full inclusion of LGBQT folks in the life of the church and beyond, and invites heterosexual individuals to become more knowledgeable and effective allies.

This team invites and challenges members of our congregation to take effective action in caring for God’s creation in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.

Anti-Racism Ministry Team
