General Info

Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church has a rich heritage benefiting from the merger of three churches: the original St. Andrews Church of South Boston, the Union Square Church, and the Trinity Church, both of Somerville. We are a small but growing congregation committed to following the teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe despite any differences among us that we are called to be one body of Christ. As a result we believe that there can be no exclusivity in the Body of Christ. Therefore, Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church welcomes everyone regardless of age, religious background, martial status, sexual orientation, and or worldly condition to join us on our shared journey of faith as a congregation. Simply put you are welcome at Clarendon Hill. As a demonstration of our commitment to this ideal CHPC is a member of More Light Presbyterians. The mission of More Light Presbyterians is to work for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church ( USA ). Our congregation's More Light Statement is below: Relying on the love and grace of God, the Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church works for peace, justice and inclusion in our private lives, in our families, in our community and in society, both locally and globally. We affirm that in Jesus Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, nor any other kind of partiality. We welcome all persons into the fellowship regardless of age, race, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, worldly condition or ability.
