Who we are
Community of Faith
United Congregational Church is a growing and vibrant community of faith. We worship, care for each other, celebrate, learn, advocate, have fun, and take action as a fellowship of Christian believers. We welcome all people to join us in our journey together. Worship
Our worship is exciting and creative. The congregation participates in worship by contributing music, serving on worship teams and experimenting with new ideas. Mission, justice, and outreach are central to our vision. We are a nurturing community. We are trying to listen to what God is calling us to do and to be. We are taking action and trusting that as we do so, our purpose and our relationship with God will become even more real.
The Building
We worship in Merriman Chapel which is located at 6 Institute Road in the Worcester Area Mission Society (WAMS) building.
In the winter of 2010, the members of United Congregational Church, took a bold step and voted to donate 6 Institute Road and our endowment to the Worcester Area Mission Society, the mission arm of the Central Association of the Massachusetts Conference, United Church of Christ.
We continue to worship at 6 Institute Road, but the building now also serves as a hub for Worcester area agencies focused on ending homelessness.

Leader Bio:
Brae Adams grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and received her BA in English at Mississippi State University. While a sophomore at Mississippi State University and working as an intern for the Women and Gender Studies department, she helped design and implement the school’s first Gay Straight Alliance to combat the increased risk of vandalism of their dorm rooms, assaults and discrimination that LGBT folks were experiencing at the time on campus.
This began her lifelong interest in issues of equality and non-discrimination. After a fifteen-year hiatus to rear her three children, Kit, Avery and Han, Brae received her call to ministry in 2012 and enrolled in Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, graduating in 2018. She served as lay pastor at Open Arms Metropolitan Community Church beginning in 2014 and was ordained there in 2019.
While in Rochester, Brae served as a steering committee member for the Western New York HRC, the Human Rights Campaign; as a member of the Board of ROC Salt center, a ministry of the presbytery of Genesee Valley; as a member of the Christian Faith and LGBT lectureship committee at Colgate Divinity School; and as chairperson of the board for the South Wedge Food Program.
She has been a national lecturer on the subject of LGBT persons and the church, provided spiritual support for community actions for various Black Lives Matter groups, and currently serves as an Antiracism Educator and conflict resolution team member for the Metropolitan Community Church. Brae was called to United Congregational Church in September of 2021. She lives in Auburn with her beloved Debbie and their two dogs Holly and Stella Jo.

You are...
You are the shade in the heat, You are shelter in the cold, You are eyes to the blind, You are a staff to the pilgrim, You are an island in the sea, You are a stronghold upon land, You are healing to the sick. You are the luck of every joy, You are the light of the sun's beam, You are the door of lordly welcome, You are the pole star of guidance, You are the step of the roe of the height, You are the step of the white-faced mare, You are the grace of the swimming swan, You are the jewel in each mystery.
