    It really shouldn't have taken me so long to right this review. Yelp is the reason we tried…read moreStoryHeights in the first place (thanks, Tracy!). Church websites all look the same: We believe that Jesus is the Son of God...obviously. We teach the Bible...of course you do. I needed information from people who have attended the church to really get a feel for it. We visited on Easter Sunday in 2014, after a few months of church searching, and we didn't need to try any other churches after that. A quick synopsis of the churches we tried before I launch into how SH is different. We tried 4 churches before StoryHeights, and 3 of the 4 we visited twice to give them a fair shot. These churches fell into 1 of 2 categories. 1) The people were friendly, but the church was spiritless (they sang about the joy of the Lord, but no one was smiling). 2) The Spirit was moving through the church, but no one beyond the front door greeter spoke to us. SH hit the perfect combination: Spirit-filled and friendly. Everyone in the church was excited to be there, to be worshipping, to be learning, and to be in fellowship. Everyone was so friendly, too! It wasn't just "Hi, what's your name? Glad you're here." They genuinely want to know about us, what brought us to the area, where we were from... And then each person introduced us to another person, trying to connect us with someone in a similar line of work or from the same part of the county. We felt quite at home! Some of my other favorite things about StoryHeights: --The kids program is fantastic. Our girls love going to church on Sunday (any day of the week we'll take them, really), and we never have to worry that they are well cared for. --The pastors know their stuff, but they don't take themselves to seriously. The sermons are funny and applicable, but they don't water down the Message. They also make a point to truly know everyone in the church. --Whether you show up in blue jeans and a t-shirt or a dress and heels, you're more than welcome. StoryHeights loves everybody, and we love you just the way you are. --There's something for everyone. Whatever your thing is, there's an activity or a group for you. I'm a special educator, so our annual Special Needs Easter Egg Hunt is the perfect way for me to combine two really important areas of my life. My husband thrives on fellowship, so meeting with a Grow Group each week really fuels him. I hope that someone who reads this review finds it helpful. I encourage you to give SH a try. I'm confident that you'll feel at home, too.

    Listened to the service remotely to check it out. Awesome message! We will visit soon!read more

The Spanish Mass has a new priest and I love to approach of getting close to the people by coming down from the altar during his sermon and speaking to us directly.

They recently had a beer tasting after the Sunday 5:30 mass, which is excellent. They also have things like spaghetti dinners and theology on tap etc. They have a new deacon that is spearheading reaching out to boston college and community of st. ignatius. I think he's doing very well! I haven't attended the 11am mass, but I've gone many times to the 5:30pm mass. At this mass, the priests and deacons give good sermons, and people attending mass respond and are friendly. They open with greeting people and end with a good song. The music is very good -- they have about a 10 person choir and guitar,piano,harmonica etc. They sometimes have a choir leader with a guitar that looks like a spanish parlour guitar -- the music he leads/sings is really great. By far, after trying so many zombie-Catholic churches in the Boston area -- with people that aren't friendly and don't speak responses in church and priests that are "difficult to appreciate" as my refined southern mother says -- this church is one of the best if you're looking for catholic and community.

    I saw a couple reviews that mentioned the church's Southern Baptist Convention roots and just…read morewanted to speak to that. I understand the resistance, truly I do. The past year that I have been in Boston has involved a lot of researching denominations and trying to understand them and the SBC certainly is a hard one to grapple with for many. But no matter how many times I've ventured elsewhere, I *always* come back to Hope Fellowship. Mostly, that is because I'm convinced that Hope Fellowship is led by godly, prayerful people and that the Spirit is bearing fruit here. Again, trust me, I get the doctrinal disputes and I struggle with the SBC on certain issues. At Hope, the leadership doesn't shy from hard topics but it also doesn't give black-and-white, pre-scripted answers; nor does it give wishy-washy, ungrounded ones. I've only ever seen Hope leadership tackle highly sensitive subjects in a nuanced, thoughtful, and humble way. Even if you don't agree 100%, you know you can share your perspective with leadership and be heard and loved. Furthermore, personally, I've found that this church has a refreshing way of incorporating confession and also rejoicing in God's mercy. During each service we have a call-and-response of a Psalm and then a prayer of confession and then a passage reminding us of how we have been redeemed from that sin. It's so balanced and thoughtful and, to me, really models what we see throughout Acts as people come to faith--a rhythm of repentance and joyfully accepting God's grace. If you are looking for a church that does not shy from tough questions and that will continually extend the love of Christ to you and motivate you to do the same for others, this place does that.
