As a Christ-centered congregation, we hear and proclaim the good news of the Lord through worship in the Lutheran liturgical tradition. Beyond the service, we seek to make Christ known to others, to take Christ’s message of loving kindness, justice and peace outside our doors, and to have that message shape and challenge our lives. We face the future trusting in the presence and work of the Holy Spirit.

At LCN, we strive to love the way Jesus loved, to denounce hatred and discrimination, to be a healing presence in our community, and to treat all as beloved children of God. A member community of the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, we are working with other Christians and people of other traditions for the wholeness and healing of the city.  We have been a Reconciling in Christ Congregation within the ELCA since 2000, seeking greater inclusivity in our church for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions; we are also committed to racial equity.
