Our Mission: Our faith is over 2000 years old (and our historic congregation is over 335 years old!), but our thinking is not! Old South opens its doors to the city, to tourists from near and far, to the needy, to an array of building users, and to a congregation (of members, friends, and family) both the curious and the committed) who call this their church home.

The Old South Church in Boston (gathered in 1669) in the name of its host, Jesus Christ, and in the spirit of Christ's invitation carved into the stone of this church's portico, "Behold I Set Before You an Open Door," welcomes all who seek to know God. Following the One who we believe is Sovereign and Savior, we affirm that each individual is a child of God, and recognize that we are called to be like one body with many members, seeking with others of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, age, gender, marital status, physical or mental ability, and sexual identity to journey together toward the promised realm of God. As we all move forward with the work of this church, we commit ourselves to making justice and inclusivity a reality in this congregation and in the world. On the threshold of Christ's open door, we rely upon the healing, unconditional nature of God's love and grace to be our help and guide. Located in the heart of Boston in Copley Square at the corner of Boylston & Dartmouth streets, we offer a full program of worship, service, fellowship, and Christian education for those of all ages.

We invite everyone to join in the common life and mission of our reconciling community through participation and leadership in this congregation, and by fully sharing in the worship, rites and sacraments of this church.
