Pakachoag Church has a long history of using its space to serve the common good. The Pakachoag Center continues that legacy -not just as a building, but as a gathering place for programs, events, and partnerships that strengthen our community.
We welcome a wide range of people and many of the programs held here strengthen underserved or marginalized communities. Public events that bring people together in ways that support our Vision and Mission are always a priority.
Vision
A more connected and compassionate world where people come together across differences, challenge prejudice and embrace life in all its diversity.
Mission
To build an inclusive community by offering a welcoming space to individuals, groups, and organizations that reflect our values.
We believe in partnerships over transactions -- not just renting space, but growing relationships. When you're here, you are part of something bigger: a place where we all give and receive, support and inspire, together.
A Shared Support Model
Our rental structure is designed to keep the Center open and accessible to as many people as possible. Standard rates cover the building's essential costs, while discounted and proposal-based rates make it possible for others to host meaningful, mission-aligned events, regardless of budget.
This shared approach reflets the spirit of our mission: everyone contributes in their own way and together we create a welcoming community space.
Precepts
- Hosting a program does not reflect an endorsement of the content.
- There will be no acceptance of hate speech or related activity that advocates hostility towards or unacceptance of people of one or more other different races, religions, ethnicities/nationalities/national origins, genders and/or sexual identities (reference - anti-defamation league).
- We acknowledge and accept that many modern day spiritual practices originate from Black, Indigenous and Eastern, religions and beliefs. We welcome those who deliver their version of spirituality in the context of good faith practices that seek to honor the origins of the practice and stay away from those practices that are understood to be sacred to the originating culture.
