Church of the Covenant in Boston, MA | Christianity

Church of the Covenant

Jesus taught that God invites all people, including society's outcasts, to enjoy seats at God's table. This congregation seeks to demonstrate that vision by welcoming individuals and families without regard to race, sex, age, physical condition, or sexual orientation. We rejoice in the presence of children among us, and we strive to include them in our minlistry. And we maintain ties of faith with the Church of the Poor in the community of the Sweet Name of Jesus, in Northwestern Nicaragua.
In our worship we use language and imagery that reflect the wonderful diversity of the image of God in humanity and all creation; that transcend the exclusive language of the church's past. We urge you to join us in the joumey toward God's justice and peace for all people--in this neighborhood, this city, and the world.
We seek to do God's will in the world through community outreach and programs of our own, and by facilitating the work of others.
Missions:
Our Weekend Emergency Food Cupboard (open 10 am to noon on Saturday and Sunday) distributes food to up to 200 persons each weekend.
We participate in issues of justice in Central America actively maintaining ties of faith with the Church of the Poor (La Iglesia de Los Pobres) in the community of the Sweet Name of Jesus (Dulce Nombre de Jésus) in Northwestern Nicaragua. In 2003 COTC sends its seventh delegation to Nicaragua, and in the past there have been two south-to-north delegations, the most recent in September 2001.
We are participating in the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, formed amongst churches around the city of Boston, to help build a community alliance among church members from many congregations, in order that we may address issues of economic and social justice in the wider community.
Our Mission and Advocacy Committee has provided financial support to dozens of local, national and international service agencies and projects.
