Grace Chapel Lexington

I have incredibly mixed emotions about this church. On the outside and if you're a stranger or a newbie it seems really great but once you get to know it you realize that it's rotten inside. This church is not biblically based which is really really sad. It is politically based on a Marxist ideology. To start off 2017, they did a church-wide ideology teaching on Marxist principles. I'm not kidding. It was ridiculous. So, if you're Marxist, you love government telling you what to do and thank having abortion up until full term is okay with you, then by all means support this church. However, if you're hospitalized, disabled, ill, any life tragedy or trauma that may happen in your life, at some point, they're not there for you. They are there for themselves. And, they will tell you to seek government assistance rather than the church. Which, if you are a Christian and have studied your Bible and know the story of the Samaritan on the road, then you know that this is opposite of any Christian Biblical teaching. Christ came for us: to heal each one of us to be there for us and he asked us to model his behavior. This church tells you to seek out the government for help not their brothers and sisters, at the church.

Welcoming church to all. Strong factual biblical Christian teaching. Sermons are relevant to modern, everyday life.

I have been attending Grace Chapel on and off for 16 years now and it is a truly unique church. From a non-religious perspective, it really is remarkable that something like ~2,000 people attend on a weekly basis with the simple intention to be thoughtful about personal growth; being challenged by the sermons to live life more passionately, kindly, and intentionally. Even more impressive is this church's unique ability to bring together a community that is both racially and socioeconomically diverse, which is not often (if ever) found in other large churches in the US. And all of this occurring in Metro Boston in the Northeast where it is not exactly "cool" to be a Christian. The fact that this church is growing and thriving in an area where an atheist is more likely to try to convert a Christian than the other way around is a testament to what is happening here. Despite how busy life gets or how far I drift from my walk with God, God always uses Grace Chapel to draw me back with a warm welcome. In particular, God really speaks to me through Pastor Bryan who offers messages that are relevant, humble, applicable, and in touch with the challenges and experiences of regular people. He uses his own struggles, those of people around him, and feedback from the attendees to craft his messages. Also, completely awesome, is that Grace has a number of young pastors who deliver great sermons. Being in my 30's, it is so exciting to hear great messages from pastors my own age! Over the years I have attended Grace's 20/30s group, gone on an trip to support microeconomic development in Africa, and now attend a great bible study. There are a ton of different ways to get connected/be involved in the Grace community. But, there is no in-your-face pressure if you are not at a place in your life right now where you are ready to get too involved. Please check this church out if you are considering it! Worst case scenario you lose 1 hour and 15 minutes of your life... which is not too bad :)
