I found a community of belief consistent with my own: the free exploration of religious beliefs, the focus on "dwelling in peace" with all, sharing the commitment to making the world a better place for all people, One of my only regrets in life is that my children did not get a UU education. This, I believe, would have protected them for the negative values in our culture, especially the ones adolescents have to cope with. I have found good people, made close friends, and found a Church home. In addition our present staff could not be better. The administrator, our building and grounds manager, our pastoral care associates,our musical director and most importantly our minister are outstanding. Going for the music or sermons alone would be worth it

My family and I have been members for two years now and we love this church. The community is…read moresupportive and warm, people of all backgrounds and religious beliefs are welcome, the programming for children (my husband and I have two) is great (Easter egg hunts, children's choir, fun Sunday school classes, family events like the chili cook-off), and overall it's a warm and welcoming place. Also, children who go through the religious education program will learn about the world's major religions and about having strong and healthy relationships in life. Good stuff. I highly recommend it!

As a guest you genuinely are not expected to tithe, But absorb the community. See if we are a good fit for you God adores us. He knit us in our mother's womb.

And just as importantly, to know ahead of time what their accommodations were, because so many places' websites don't make it easy to find that information.

Three years ago, they hired a young and inexperienced pastor, whose sermons were weak and uninspiring. Suggestions that actions should be taken to help her improve were treated as political subversion rather than as a well-intentioned opinions expressed by people who cared deeply about the church. The opening line in their bulletin is that all are welcome. That was not our experience when it came to discussing subjects that the pastor and other leaders were uncomfortable with.

I'm a little confused about how to write a review about a church, but I'm going to give it a try…read more I grew up in this church. I could list all my activities, but I want to write about Follen. Follen was always a place for me to have a community of adults and kids older and younger than me that I wasn't related to. I have heard the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" and Follen was my village. I'm not sure I see myself going to church ever again in my life, attending services or that sort of thing, but I'm sure in the hypothetical someday when I have kids, I want them to have access to this type of community. There were so many ways to interact outside of the religious aspect - especially the youth group I was in in high school, and the choir, and the well-done sexual education program. And the religious aspect wasn't overbearing by any means - we're UU for crying out loud. I still remember my favorite sermon I ever heard - it was titled, "it's not okay to say you can't play" which was about children, and adults, learning how to include people. Things like that always leave their mark and I carry it with me in my life. So I don't know who will read this review, but if you're looking for a church where people are fun and just looking for other people like them who really care, about everything, then I wholeheartedly recommend it.

CBCGB, lovingly referred to as "cabbage" by its members, is a great community of Christ-loving people.

For families, CBCGB offers a robust children's program ranging from daycare to 12th grade. College students and young adults will also find their home in one of the church's many fellowship groups. Although the church may be a little out of the way for those living in Boston, I can assure you that it would be worth the visit-- for the people, the biblical teachings, and (for first time visitors) free lunch on Sunday!!
