Where Love and Liberation Meet
In 2024, four United Methodist congregations—Union Church in the South End, Old West Church in the West End, Community Church in Brighton, and Glendale Church in Everett—merged to form the Union Combined Parish. With hundreds of members, two Worship sites, four church buildings, and three affordable living residences, we are creating a new sense of home where everyone has a seat at the table. With faith, imagination, and a bit of ingenuity, God is creating something new in Boston.
Our denomination
The Union Combined Parish is a church of the New England Conference of The United Methodist Church, a worldwide denomination making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In 2000, Union Church became the first historically Black congregation to join the Reconciling Ministries Network, dedicated to the full participation of LGBTQ+ people in the life and leadership of our congregation and denomination.
