The Tri-Parish Community Church is a communion of four congregations in Hardwick and New Braintree, who have joined together to worship God and celebrate the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Tri-Parish has deep roots that go back to the first villages in the East Quabbin area. With this rich history of serving these farming communities, we come together in faith to support our neighbors and our church family, to discern God’s purpose for us, and to spread His word.
We have a worship schedule that takes us to both towns. Each year starts fresh at the New Braintree Congregational Church with Sunday worship through June. July through December worship services move to The First Universalist Church of Hardwick. This schedule, unique to the Tri-Parish, offers parishioners a new perspective and a fresh start twice each year. The Calvinistic Congregational Church of Hardwick houses one of our outreach missions, the Hardwick Food Pantry, and the Trinitarian Congregational Church in Gilbertville is now home to the Stone Church Cultural Center. The buildings and the communities are beautiful and distinct in the full traditions and history only found in New England.
