Located right along Route 15,

THE MONSON COMMUNITY CHURCH historically consists of the combined fellowships of the Congregational Church of Monson (organized 1821) and the Baptist Society of Monson (organized 1827). Combined services were conducted as early as 1933. In 1959, the two church buildings were actually joined together. Today the church is congregationally governed, theologically evangelical, and denominationally affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America. If you presently have no church home, we invite you to worship with us this Sunday!
