The Church on the Hill, Boston (Boston Society of the New Jerusalem) is seeking people to help us achieve our mission. Ideal candidates will be reliable, willing to learn, personable, and will have a passion to support the members and staff fulfill the church’s mission. 

A Quick Note About Our Church:

Founded in 1818, the church is an endowment driven with a small and dedicated group. We have been atop Beacon hill since the 1840’s though our worship space has changed. We are now located on the bottom two floors of an apartment building with an intimate ‘chapel’ sized sanctuary that can hold around 100 people comfortably. The church is independent Swedenborgian Church and is governed by the congregation through committees. The Swedenborgian or ‘Church of the New Jerusalem’ was founded first in England and then in the United states at the turn of the 19th Century. To learn more about Emanuel Swedenborg, please see https://swedenborg.com/emanuel-swedenborg/

The purpose of this Church shall be to establish and maintain public worship of the Lord Jesus Christ according to His Holy Word and the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. And in following those teachings, this Church shall maintain free and open worship of the Divine and shall honor the good in all religions that seek to foster a positive regard for all humanity, recognizing unity and diversity.

The Mission of our Church

  • To be a progressive Christian presence in the City of Boston, a reflection of Swedenborgian theology of service and mission, through our commitment to education, social justice, and human rights.
  • To make a difference in the lives of strangers and seekers through our compassion and acceptance by inviting them to be members of our community who share our common values.
  • To be a “rock” of stability and support in an uncertain world – a tranquil and peaceful “home away from home” for all people, where a person is missed when he or she is absent, and where one can find comfort, healing, and normalcy when things are not going well.
