The
Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts
is made up of 67 congregations in
the five Western counties of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. We are committed
to being healthy, mission-focused
outposts of love and transformation.
We are part of the world-wide Anglican
Communion and the Episcopal Church,
USA. Call the local Episcopal Church
in your community to find your place
to be known, loved, and sent out in
mission. We strive to have every member
be a minister, and every stranger welcomed
and invited to join us as the People
of God.
A Welcome to you from Bishop Gordon Scruton
