HAPPY 300TH ANNIVERSARY

TO

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF WESTBOROUGH!

During this anniversary year, we will explore the historic scope and strength of our spiritual growth and community presence. None of Reverend Ebenezer Parkman's twenty-seven successors has led the Church for a fifty-eight-year term, but all have helped the church focus on new faith experiences and ways to serve the needs of our congregation.  

We invite you to participate in the many special events planned in 2024 - a year to celebrate

The Congregational Church of Westborough

and its 300 years of Faith, Love and Service.


Please look below for our quarterly newsletters, as well as events scheduled in the coming months. Be sure to check back often for updates!
