The Church Plant is dependent on financial support from people who believe in our vision and our calling to reach Boston for Christ. Thank you so much for supporting the Vision!
There are three ways that you can join this work in the Southwest Neighborhoods of Boston:
1. Prayer: We are seeking to build a team of people who are committed to praying daily/weekly for The Boston Collaborative church plant. We will send you periodic reports via mail and email to keep you updated on what God is doing in Boston.
2. Financially: It typically takes over a year for new believers to develop a consistent practice of giving to a church and its ministries, so we are trusting that the Lord will open the hearts of His people to collaborate with us financially. We believe that the church plant will be fully-self-supported by year 4, at which point designated giving will no longer be a key source of the budget. You can partner with us financially in these early years by sending a one-time gift, or through monthly commitments over the next 1-4 years.
*You can send your gift to:
Charles River Church
Attn: Boston Collaborative
P.O. Box 320293
West Roxbury, MA 02132
3. Launch Team: The Launch team will be made up of those who choose to consider the Boston Collaborative Church Plant their home church. In addition to the Core Team and Staff, these people will consist of those who come to know the Lord through the Collaborative prior to the first public worship gathering and other believers who choose to be a part of what God is doing through this effort. The Launch Team will support the vision with their spiritual gifts, personal commitment, and resources. If you feel led to relocate to the target area or if you are in the area and have not settled into a church yet, please contact us and let us know about your interest in the church plant.
