Home + Table

Home + Table is the Union Combined Parish's flagship initiative aimed at counteracting housing and food insecurity across Boston. Because we believe that the church is spiritual home shaped around the Lord's Table, we're developing sanctuary and practicing communion in real, tangible, and materials ways. As follows of Jesus, we live out our faith by doing what Jesus did—build homes and feed people.

Home

We're building on Union's legacy of seeking housing justice. In the 1970s, Union Church developed the Meth-Union Cooperator Manor, a 149-unit, four building affordable housing project. In 2021, Union Church converted its parsonage into the Hilda Evans House and, in 2023, opened the Brighton Methodist House for African and Black seminarians.

Table

We're feeding God's people. For over 50 years, the Food Pantry at Union Church has served hundreds of families each month. At Old West Church, the groundbreaking Food Forest helps source meals, and symbolizes God's bounty and stewardship of the earth.

Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to live in.

Isaiah 58:12
