Pastor's Welcome

Welcome to South Church on the Web!

Thanks for stopping to sample what South Church has to offer. We’re a church with a big heart and a big welcome. We pray to have the heart Jesus has for all God’s people.

Did you hear that? All God’s people. No hidden rules or passwords. No fine print. You don’t have to be rich to come to South Church. Or poor. Black or white. Straight or gay. Married or single. You don’t have to know your Bible. (We’ll help with this part). You don’t have to have a long history with God. (Just a desire to connect with God.)

Here are some important things we stand for:

At South Church we call ourselves Jesus centered! That means we believe Jesus is alive and calling us to new lives of joy and generosity. How different is that in our world?

At South Church we call ourselves Open and Affirming! We welcome and affirm the life, gifts and ministries of of gay, lesbian and transgendered folk among us. Want to see what that looks like? Come visit!

At South Church we call ourselves Multi-racial! Here is our growing edge. We believe that people of many backgrounds are looking for common ground and a new kind of community where color and language and music of many kinds are celebrated. Are we there yet? Come see and give us your thoughts!

In all we do, we give glory and honor to God. There is no way we can do what we do or be who we are without the powerful plan and amazing love of God. No way!! So we take time to be grateful and to listen to the movement of God in our community.

How can you reach us to find out more? I invite you to email me through this website at pheinrichs@sococh.org. Have questions? Ask! Or call me our Associate Pastor Chris Fontaine on the church phone – (413) 732-0117. Or come to church some Sunday morning at 10:00 on the corner of Maple and High Streets. On October 14 we’ll also introduce a 5:00 pm service – participatory and come-as-you-are!. Come see for yourself!

Until we meet online or in person, may God strengthen you in love and build you up in faith as God’s plan unfolds before you!

In peace,
