As the church's Historian, I welcome you on behalf of all who currently minister or serve the Lord at West Congregational Church, Haverhill, Massachusetts.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the church's history, please let me know.
We invite you to share your comments and questions, whether you are part of this vibrant congregation or not.
We have a fascinating history--the good, bad, the ugly and the glorious.
If you have memories or information relative to the church, please share. Please remember that this is a public forum. Be wise in what you say and how you say it. Our hope is that this will be a forum where people can connect or re-connect with many who may have lost contact over the years.
We know that this parish has often struggled with its calling to be the body of Christ in this place. As Pastor Dale Brown so colorfully puts it: we are a bunch of messed up people - but God is fixing us, and we are really happy about it!
Or perhaps the church is like an army field hospital - pretty chaotic, lots of mess. But the cause is just and the victory certain in the end.
Welcome to the History of West Church and to the people who call this community their spiritual home.
