Church of Our Saviour is a diverse and vibrant Christian community in the Episcopal tradition located in Arlington, MA, that welcomes EVERYONE to a place of peace, refuge, healing, and spiritual growth. Church of Our Saviour, with families and individuals from many cultures, backgrounds, orientations, and beliefs, is a joyful community that extends its welcome to all. First built by parishioners t
o serve the immigrant population of East Arlington, Church of Our Saviour began and continues in a tradition of strong lay leadership and service. Theologically and liturgically progressive, but grounded in the tradition of the Episcopal Church, we embrace diversity boldly as we seek continued spiritual growth and evolving revelation of God’s call to our community. We offer safety to those marginalized by society or situation; a contemplative environment for those who need to grieve, to heal, or to be nourished; and encouragement and guidance for those discerning their spiritual path and seeking a spiritual home. We seek ecumenical interactions, as well as partnerships with public, private, and Episcopal organizations as a means of embodying our commitment to social justice. We express this spirit in our creative liturgy and worship, which is shared in the round. We use language that is inclusive and respectful of all people. We encourage the artist in each of us, incorporating the skills and gifts of all, and creating beauty that ranges from the handcrafted circular altar, banners, and other works of art in our sanctuary, to our dramatic and musical offerings. We seek beauty in all things, and strive to be cheerful doers of God’s work at all times, in all places, and in all actions.
