About Us
Southwick Community Episcopal Church was founded in 2005 with support from The Episcopal Diocese of Western Massachusetts. Since then, we've grown in many ways, and through God's grace, help and direction, we've touched the lives of many people. While our growth has been terrific, we're not done yet. We hope you'll join us as we continue to reach for the goals of our mission, and help people connect with God and with others in meaningful relationships. That's what we're all about; that's why we're different.
A Different Kind of Church
So what's different about Southwick Community Episcopal Church? We think nothing could be more exiting or more important than experiencing a relationship to God in a personal way. And not just on Sunday morning.
People give up on church for lots of reasons. Many times, it's because what they're looking for isn't "going to church" at all, but something deeper: a close connection to God that really touches our lives.
The number one purpose of Southwick Community Episcopal Church is to help people to make that connection.

Our Staff
Rev. Taylor Albright comes to Southwick after serving as assistant at St. Mark's Church in East Longmeadow. Originally from "south of the Mason Dixon line," Taylor and his wife Kitty moved to Western Massachusetts after graduating from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 1988. The Albright family moved to Southwick in 2003 in order to form a ministry that reached out to people who had given up on church, but still had a heart for God. A former band member who still loves to play the blues, Taylor loves the recreational opportunities that Southwick offers. "I tried talking my family into getting a kayak, but once the kids tried riding dirt bikes, that was the end of that!"
Mary Curran is our church's administrative assistant. Mary currently provides us with assistance with all kinds of office support, including bookkeeping, scheduling, and email to our members. Mary & her family live in Southwick.
We are also assisted by dozens of volunteers that help keep our services, programs, building, and mission moving forward. If it's happening at our church, you can be sure that many talented, committed hands are involved.
