Pakachoag Church has a decades long history of committing its resources to the development of community programs and activities that serve the common good. As an outgrowth of the church's past, present and hope for the future, The Pakachoag Center serves to continue these efforts in keeping with the following Vision and Mission statements.
VISION --
A more harmonious world in which people come together in ways that transcend sect, serve to eradicate prejudice and embrace life in all its complexities and diversity.
MISSION -
To build an inclusive community by offering a gathering space on a shared and mutually responsible basis to individuals, groups and organizations that mirror and/or identify with our broad and expansive values. To that end, the Center is premised on a reciprocal relationship rather than a space utilization arrangement. In this way, we can influence and benefit from each other in ways that support the whole.
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.
