Seeking a church

[toodleskitty.livejournal.com]

I checked the Tags and didn't find churches mentioned...

My nephew is 19 and living in Somerville. He is a Christian and the son of a pastor. He's looking for a church in the Somerville/Cambridge/Boston areas. He is most familiar with the Assembly of God churches.

I can't help him out because I am only familiar with Unitarian Universalist and Episcopal churches. I don't recommend any of the ones I've attended.

He's also looking for a church that will have peeps his own age.


Thanking you in advance,
Abbey

The Vineyard in Cambridge has a lot of young people, and is relatively similar to AoG. That's probably the closest to an AoG in this area. There are a few hipster churches in Boston that are Evangelical-Pentecostal, and similar to a lot of west coast AoGs: Reunion is the name of one that I know off the top of my head. It's a bit of a hike from Somerville, but might be worth checking out.

And here's a link: Vineyard Christian Fellowship. They're on Rindge Avenue in Cambridge, a short walk from Davis Square.

Thanks, I probably should have included a link. And yeah, they're practically in Davis Square. Like most Vineyards, they lean to the right (theologically and politically), but they seemed friendly. I visited with a friend, and it was a fairly comfortable environment. And there's definitely a lot of college-aged kids.

And if the OP is curious how such a young congregation is in such an ornate old church building .... it used to belong to a French Catholic parish that closed a decade or so ago.

Thank you! I have been to this church but it's hard to get to by public transport. I enjoyed it so he might also.

I'm not sure if you're referring to Vineyard or Reunion, but Vineyard is very easy to reach on public transport. If this is the Reunion you're both referring to, they meet in a Back Bay hotel which is on the Green Line.
