History:

Our church was founded on the Cohasset-Hingham border in 1979 by Rev. J. Scott and Dorothy Newell in the former Pope Memorial Church building. Soon after, the new congregation moved into a house church on Rockland Street in Hingham. It is there that the seeds for our shelter ministry were planted, Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore. The ministry took off under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Michael Matthews in the mid- to late 1980s. Revs. Larry & Martha Wilson continued to lead the house church in the early 1990s. Finally, in 1996, our current chapel was purchased from the Hingham United Methodist Church. The building underwent major renovations in 2004 under the direction of the then-pastor, Rev. Dr. Clifford Hersey. In early 2006, Rev. Jeremy D. Scott became our pastor.

About Us:

Our church seeks to be a community of people who love like Jesus Christ. We come from across the South Shore to worship at our little chapel in Hingham. While carrying out the regular activities of a church community, we greatly value the arts, living as good neighbors, and partnering in what God is doing both near and far. We strive to have our gatherings focused around Christ and his practices of hospitality and table fellowship. When we’re together, we’re characterized by mutual sharing, welcoming all people (especially children!), and providing a safe space for people who need healing and comfort.
