Mission/Lineage: The United Church of Christ has long understood the importance of gathering and meeting together. Believing that every person has something to contribute to the whole, our Congregational forbears developed the New England Town Meeting as a form of governance.
Our meeting and retreat centers welcome all who need an inviting place for shared work, study and renewal. We have a long and proud history of ecumenical and interfaith dialog and outreach, and of working for social justice.
