🎉 Welcoming Rev. Paula Frost

We’re excited to welcome Rev. Paula Frost to the pastoral team at Highrock MetroWest! Paula brings decades of experience in children’s, family, and overall church ministry within the Evangelical Covenant Church. Her first Sunday with us will be August 2 — come give her a warm welcome! We’ll host a more formal welcome celebration for Paula and her husband, Herb, in September, once our summer travelers are back. Learn more about Paula’s background here.

⛪ Our Needham Home: A Word About Our Discernment
Last Sunday we held a Listening Session, and you gave the Property Discernment Team great feedback. The team listened, and here’s a summary of what we heard. Your roots run deep in Needham and Wellesley, and many of you value the financial freedom this facility gives us — no mortgage means more room to fund ministry. But you were honest with us: we’re at capacity, our Kidsrock space is hard to find and doesn’t feel like ours, and after years of setting up and tearing down, this still feels more like borrowed space than a home. Some of you are carrying disappointment from promises you heard about this building in the past. You want a longer vision — not a quick fix, but real clarity about what this space is for over the next generation. And you want to help shape that, not be told about it after the fact. We heard you. The team is now doing careful research — informed by exactly what you shared — and we’ll keep bringing you into the process as we learn. Another Listening Session is scheduled for Sunday, September 27.
