Welcome to Park Congregational Church!

Located in the spacious facilities of First Baptist Church at the corner of Salisbury Street and Park Avenue, Worcester, Massachusetts, we welcome everyone to become a part of our community of faith regardless of where you are on life’s journey. We worship in Davis Chapel at 10:00am on Sunday. The door to Davis Chapel can be accessed directly from Park Avenue.  The parking lot is along the side of the chapel and can be entered from Park Avenue. The parking lot and Davis Chapel are the first section of the building of First Baptist Church driving north on Park Avenue. We are a mainline/liberal Protestant church and offer a reverent and thoughtful worship service with an accomplished organist, choir, and sermons by a former professor of theology and philosophy, Rev. Dr. Gary Shahinian. We also have an active Sunday School and Confirmation program with a Children’s Message during the service.

Life At Park Congregational Church
We have a Movie Matinee one Sunday a month following lunch whereby we watch together a Hollywood film, suitable for children, and afterward discuss the values and/or spiritual themes presented. Movie Matinee is an important component of our Christian Education program.  In the past we have for Movie Matinee watched such films as High Noon, Wall-EThe Incredible Shrinking Man, and The Bride of Frankenstein. We also have an evening Bible Study on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Beginning in September, for Bible Study, we will be reading and discussing the Letter of James. In the past, we have read such novels as The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Shack, as well as studied the books of 1 and 2 Maccabees, 1 and 2 Corinthians, and the Gospel of Mark. We have special events throughout the year including suppers, a Lenten Series, which this  past year featured episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, a Christmas and Easter Cantata by the Adult Choir, a Children's Choir once a month, an ecumenical Vacation Bible Camp, and special worship services such as Blue Christmas, Evolution Sunday, and Maundy Thursday, which in the past have featured our Sunday School children and Youth Group.

We believe that God is transforming the entire creation through Jesus Christ and invites us at Park Congregational Church to enlist in that redemptive mission.

NEADS NEWS: Our Sunday School sponsored NEADS DOG, "Bella", was so "full of spirit", that she was unable to continue in her training as a NEADS DOG. However, God placed "Bella" where she would be most able to share her gifts - with a wonderful and loving family!

As God would also have it, our Sunday School was given another pup to sponsor, named "Benny"! "Benny" is in puppy school at the present time, learning during the week and socializing during the weekends with NEADS trainers. In due time, "Benny" will come to meet his friends at Park Congregational Church and First Baptist Church!
