Who We Are
Hope Central 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 invite you to join us. You just might find a place to practice your spirituality, a church that will encourage you to explore the beauty and poetry of the Christian tradition, and a community working together for justice and peace.
We Welcome All
Our church is radically inclusive and intentionally welcoming. Every worship service begins with these words:
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.
