City Engagement
City Engagement seeks to provide ways for Park Street Church to reach the City of Boston with the good news of Christ through word, deed and virtuous lives.

Jesus has given us both a model and a call to love our neighbor, especially the hungry, the lonely, the poor. Each of us has the opportunity and privilege to be a neighbor in and around our homes and our places of study or work.

Sanctus shares God’s love with asylum seekers, displaced people, and international students during their time in the Boston by hosting weekly pickup soccer games. We invite players to connect further through events such as dinners, Bible studies, and holiday celebrations.

Haitian ESL

In an effort to meet needs that are unique to many Haitians seeking refuge in our city, we’ve launched an ESL program that now runs parallel to Home on Saturday mornings. The focus is currently on Level 1 and 2 English classes and conversational practice.

We also provide some support with housing and employment searches—areas of support that we are actively seeking to strengthen.

OPPORTUNITIES:

Be a conversation partner – no experience or ESL training necessary. ESL-trained people very welcome! Haitian-Creole or French speakers would be a real bonus!

Afghan Friendship

In partnership with local churches, we welcomed Afghan families to Boston after the fall of Kabul in 2021. The journey remains hard and often lonely, so the invitation to be a friend and neighbor is ongoing. We host occasional gatherings to build community and connection.

Opportunities

Just be a neighbor, especially if you’re local to our families in Medford, Melrose, JP and Roslindale. We highly recommend doing this as a group or community.
