Welcoming Letter

    Welcome to the Union Church of Stow’s web site! I’m
    glad you found us. Our congregation comes from Stow
    and the surrounding towns and we’ve been a presence
    here since 1904. Wherever you are on your faith journey,
    if you are looking for a place to connect with God and
    others, come and check us out in person.

    We run the gamut of ages from newborn to
    nonagenarians; some of our members were born here
    in Stow and most are transplants from elsewhere. For
    some, church is a new thing; others were baptized here
    as infants, while others come to us from a variety of
    denominational backgrounds.

    Historically, our worship services have been traditional,
    but we are slowly experimenting with new music and
    new ways of doing things ... come, and be part of
    listening with us to God as we step into a vibrant future.

    The Rev. Susan Scott, Pastor
