WHO WE ARE

Brighton Allston Congregational Church is a small, diverse community of folks who gather regularly to worship God and to serve others. This is a space of healing, comfort, and spiritual deepening. Most of us live in the Allston or Brighton neighborhoods of Boston. We come from many nationalities, ethnicities, life experiences, and religious, educational, and economic backgrounds. We are an "Open and Affirming" congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC), which means that we recognize all people—of every race, age, ability, gender, and sexual orientation—as children of God, welcome in every aspect of our church life. In word and action, worship and service, we seek to nourish heart, mind, body, and spirit in our ministry together. You are welcome to worship, pray, and fellowship with us! Please join us this Sunday at 10:30 am for worship. "Come bring your happy and hurting hearts,
your searching and supple spirits,
your wise and whimsical beings,
so God may embrace and empower us for good." OUR DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL. The church building is handicapped accessible; the ramp is located on the Dighton Street side of the building. This brings you to the first floor of the church where the sanctuary, after-church gathering area, Thrift Shop and the accessible restroom are located. The Community Supper is downstairs in the basement; there is a stair-lift on these stairs. People come here for many reasons, and from many different backgrounds. We are gay and lesbian-friendly; kid friendly, senior friendly, and all ages in between friendly; married, single, widowed, or partnered-friendly; some of us are new to faith and some are life-long believers; here, those things are celebrated as part of what makes you unique. Here, we are all children of God.

Today, we want to celebrate and offer a moment of gratitude as we send forth our Inaugural Trans BIPOC Pastoral Resident, Deshay Freemyer-Jackson as she heads into their next journey of ministry.

In the last two and half years of being our TBPR resident, Associate Minister and Bridge Pastor, Pastor DeShay has brought a depth of gifts and care to the BACC and Allston Brighton Food Pantry Community. Through their spirit ignited thought provoking preaching, mentoring of student and pastoral interns, nurturing pastoral care, and inspiring leadership in all areas of the community, Pastor DeShay has changed our lives and our community that will echo for years to follow. Their justice initiatives, liturgical gifts and loving care for all who step through our doors has inspired our community as we continue to follow the path of discipleship together.

As our first TBPR Resident, we are so grateful for Pastor DeShay’s presence in our community and are excited for their future and life giving ministry ahead!

Join us tonight for a Good Friday Service with the Eliot Church of Newton at 7pm EST. The service will reflect on the Seven Last Words of Jesus and include reflections from the people in our scriptures who were present at the cross that day.

The service will be held at Eliot Church in their sanctuary and is reachable via bus, car, or bike. Online worship is available at Eliot Church of Newton Facebook Live and YouTube.

Good Friday is the day we remember Jesus’ deepest love through his suffering and death on the cross. On this day, we recognize that the suffering of Christ is echoed in the lives of many of our siblings around us. Let us seek to be disciples to each other, working for justice, healing and peace so that all may experience the kingdom of God that is love, peace, hope and community, on earth as it is in heaven.

We hope you will join us tonight for worship.

Join us tonight for Good Friday at Eliot Church of Newton. Tonight will be a collaborative service with the Brighton Allston Congregational Church (United Church of Christ)

Good Friday is the day we remember Jesus’ deep love shown on the cross—his sacrifice that made way for new life. It’s a quiet, reflective moment in the story of our faith, preparing our hearts for the joy of Easter.

Families are warmly welcome. A prayground with coloring pages and books is available in the back of the sanctuary for children.
