The One Boston Story
The story of One Boston Church began in 2008, when God started stirring an idea about something new in the heart of Boston. When Pastors Matt & Cari moved to Massachusetts in 2011, friendships and connections began to grow all across the city. From lunches in Southie, family gatherings in Medford, connections on Beacon Hill, classes at BU, games at Fenway Park and the Garden, spur of the moment dinners in Everett & Revere, walks through Roxbury and Dorchester, or date nights in Cambridge & Arlington… Through countless events and spaces, God began connecting people.
Over the years, the Zimmermans and others would visit Piers Park in East Boston to pray for the city, their friends, and God’s direction. As they continued to serve in their local churches and communities, the number of connections slowly grew. In early 2021, Pastors Matt and Cari met with Pastor David & Ginelle Payne. The leadership of Lifesong Church and the Association of Related Churches all agreed. It was time for the vision of One Boston Church to become a reality.
