“Treasures from CCB’s Archives”
with Dean Stevens
Watch it Live on CCB’s YouTube Channel
On the occasion of Community Church’s One Hundredth Anniversary, we will take a tour of a century of our record of documents, bulletins, brochures, publications, newsletters and meeting minutes. What a story there is to tell! Let’s not only reminisce, but even more, let us be inspired by who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re headed.

UPDATE:
Covid-19 Announcement
Dear CCB Community,
In response to concerns around COVID-19, and in an effort to ensure the health and safety of our staff, members, and friends, we are writing to let you know that the Community Church of Boston will close to the public tentatively until May 18th.
All services, events, and public programs scheduled through May 18th will be postponed. Events to be held in the Lothrop Auditorium will be rescheduled or refunds will be issued. Arrangements can be made by sending an email to: commchurch@gmail.com.
We will continue to share updates via our website, social media, and email as we monitor the situation and we will hold virtual meetings on Sunday mornings live on Zoom via computer, and by phoning in as well as live on our Youtube Channel.
The health and safety of our CCB community is our top priority. We encourage everyone to reference and adhere to guidelines provided by the CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
We look forward to sharing more information as it becomes available, and we hope to see you at Community Church again very soon.
It’s the hardest thing for a church, whose main reason for being is to bring people together, to say, “Stay Away”. This too shall pass.
Sincerely,
The CCB Team
