International Fellowship
Our ministry to internationals promotes the diverse and cosmopolitan character of our church in order that we might increasingly become a “house of prayer for all nations.”
Other ministries serving internationals include the Van Baay House, a residential community for international students and scholars, as well as our English as a Second Language (ESL) program.
Van Baay House
The Van Baay House is a co-ed residence near Harvard Square for Christian international students and scholars. We use the house as a base for outreach to other international students and scholars, training residents to be faithful witnesses to Jesus wherever God leads them. We welcome applications to live in the Van Baay House year round; most turnover occurs in summer, but residents may move on at Christmas or at other times of the year. Submit questions to or request an application from David Heckendorn.
