Summer 2024

In our context, Christian nationalism is the belief that America is a Christian nation and should implement laws and policies reflective of its Judeo Christian heritage. This class describes how Christian nationalists make use of the Old and New Testament to define America’s identity and some of the pros and cons of religious nationalism in general. It concludes by critiquing present day examples of Christian nationalism as examples of Judaizing and Gnostic heresy.

Join us after the Sunday Service as we clean up our church. More details will be available as the date approaches!

The Urban Missions Committee (UMC) is looking for volunteers to help with the annual City of Cambridge Juneteenth Parade on 6/19 (10am-4pm).  Volunteers will provide on-call help as needed for speakers, music, arts and crafts activities in Riverside Press Park. (Tasks might include setting up tables and chairs, providing instructions to participants, distributing food and snacks.)

We invite you to join us in tangibly exploring and dreaming of what it looks like to Belong In and Build Together as a CSC community. Join us on Friday June 21 from 7:30-9pm in the Fellowship Hall at CSC for an evening of interactive art, musical worship, and prayer. A unique element of this Worship Night is that we are creating a Visual Worship Project aimed at seeing God in our community through photography and mural art.

Soccer Nights is a free summer evening soccer clinic offered to children ages 5-12 that seeks to promote athletic skill, leadership development and citywide unity in neighborhoods throughout Greater Boston.

Soccer Nights is run in collaboration with Pentecostal Tabernacle, Reservoir and other area churches.
