Title
The Presbyterian Church in Burlington, Massachusetts --- 01803
Description
We're located at a busy crossroads in a bustling community. Since our organization by Boston Presbytery in 1962, we have sought to provide a center of faith and family for many who have come to work at local technology companies, Hanscom Air Force Base, and in related fields (we even have a few native New Englanders!). At age 40, the church retains a youthful feel, and we are seeking new ways to minister with young families, inspired by our increasing flock of little ones. We are small enough (150 members) to care as an extended family, but large and diverse enough to sustain an interesting mix of programs.
Worship services follow a traditional format, but you'll find informal and contemporary touches: Once every four to six weeks we design a service for the whole family, including children. Other Sundays, children come in for the early minutes of worship and a "Word for Children" before leaving for class activities. Music, a vital part of who we are, includes regular choir, a praise group, handbell choir, and children's music.
Mission outreach takes us to serve supper monthly at The Dwelling Place in nearby Woburn; to Maine for a week of volunteer housing ministry in the summer (and occasional Habitat days closer to home); to join in various walks for important causes; to provide some of our Peacemaking Offering for Peace Scholarships for high school seniors; and even to rocking chairs (our youth rock-a-thon) for a good cause. We are strongly involved in community interfaith activities, are part of a five-church partnership with Presbyterian churches from other communities, and are committed to Presbyterian Church (USA) mission.
