Come to Stay!

Many who come to Baystate for fellowship training choose to remain in the area after graduation.  The Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts offers cultural and recreational activities in a beautiful setting.  The area is home to the Five Colleges and numerous musical, theatrical and museum events.  Outlets for skiing, hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities abound close to the Connecticut River and in the nearby Berkshires.
