About Us

Open, Affirming & Welcoming

Full congregation of the Hancock church standing together in the chapel.

Hancock Church is Christian faith community that welcomes everyone, no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey. Since 2000, we have been an LGBTQ Open & Affirming congregation and an Immigrant Welcoming Congregation since 2018. As part of the United Church of Christ we are a vibrant, theologically progressive, Christian community. You can find us in Lexington, MA across from the historic Lexington Battle Green.  

There is much that we do out in the world, and our worshipping life is where it all begins. We gather every week for scripture, music, prayer, and to bring our lives to bear before God and each other. Inspired by the life and teaching of Jesus, we are changing the world with love, compassion, and courage every day.  

We have strong mission partnerships with organizations in Lexington, the wider community of Boston and Massachusetts, and around the world. We draw inspiration and strength from deep interfaith relationships through the Lexington Interfaith Community Association and the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization.
