A light left on for you.
Lumen is a church in Boston’s South End. Come as you are on Sunday at 9, 11 or 6.
We are an ordinary church with an open door. We sing old hymns and new songs, read the Bible together and keep a long table for anyone who needs a seat.

John 1:1-14
John begins his gospel with light that no darkness can put out. What that promise means on an ordinary Monday.
There is a place
for you here.
Seven ways into the life of the church, from Sunday kids church to Saturday mornings at the pantry.
Lumen Kids

Sunday kids church, a safe check-in and a summer camp that fills up by March.
Music
Choir and band
A community choir, a Sunday band and an evening service sung by candlelight.
Care and prayer

Hospital visits, prayer after every service and a listening ear when life is hard.
The long table

A free supper every Wednesday and lunch after the 11 o’clock service.
Your first Sunday,
step by step.
