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

Tagged. My guess is we slanted toward religion vs. churches in the interest of neutrality.

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.

After a little digging on Google, I found this:

http://ma.citysquares.com/somerville/sullivan-square/religious-organizations/religious-services-organizations/world-revival-church-assembly-of-god

It's in the Sullivan Square area, which is accessible by the Orange Line, the 89 bus and other forms of public transit -- though I can't say how easy it'll be to get to from the station. I'm afraid I also can't tell you how this particular church is. Nevertheless, I hope this helps your nephew.

i'd recommend he try out Highrock in arlington center. there are a lot of young people there, and i personally really enjoy it. it's an evangelical covenant denomination, of which there are a few in new england, but i doubt he will have heard of them.
plus we offer free food every single sunday! :)
if he's interested, the website is www.highrock.org .

Park Street Church has a lot of young people, I hear. My roommate likes it.

I can't really help the OP, but I can say I am very pleased with the helpful comments. At first I thought this was posted on b0st0n and was preparing for something that didn't occur.

If i were religious....

I'd start my own Church.

I'm a member of the First Congregational Church of Somerville. We are indeed theologically liberal, but firmly grounded in the Bible. There are lots of young people in the congregation, and we're certainly convenient to Davis Square. While the Assembly of God is typically more conservative, it's firmly in the Congregational tradition. He might find FCS quite comfortable. I'd certainly recommend that he come give us a try. Services are at 10 on Sundays.

Boston Harbor Community Church in the North End is and AoG church. It used to be called Boston Worship Center back when I went. I haven't been in years but I know folks who still go.

It definitely has a large young person contingent, lots of college and just post college age people.

There is also Four Square church in Harvard Square that I know of (and know folks who go to) called Grace Street. That church is primarily young folks.

I don't know much about Hope Fellowship Church other than that they do good work around here feeding the homeless, but check them out. They're at Beech and Orchard streets.
