Welcome to Hope Church
Hope Church is a dynamic, spirited, progressive, inclusive Christian faith community that strives to live deeply into God's peace and justice, and reaches out to Boston and the world with "open minds, open hands, and open hearts."
We are part of the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Our interim pastor is the Rev. Wendy Miller Olapade.
We welcome everyone. These words begin every worship service at Hope:
Welcome to Hope Church! Welcome to all who have no church home, need strength, want to follow Christ, have doubts, or do not believe.
Welcome to new visitors and to old friends. Welcome to grandparents, to mothers, fathers, and single people. Welcome to people of all colors, cultures, abilities, and sexual orientations, to old and young, to believers and questioners - and welcome to questioning believers.
Welcome to everyone! Tonight we are all invited to live into God's love, peace, and justice.
