About
City on a Hill Church started in the fall of 2009 with a core group of thirty people meeting in Temple Sinai in Coolidge Corner on Sunday evenings. The group was led by Bland Mason and adopted the name City on a Hill Church based on Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” In June 2010, CoaH had its first official membership meeting with 23 people becoming charter, covenant members of the new church.
A month later CoaH launched a Sunday morning worship gathering and changed locations to the Michael Driscoll School in Washington Square. In February 2011, CoaH bought a three floor residential building in Brookline Village from the Greek Apostolic Church of Brookline. Though the space is too small for CoaH to worship in, it serves as a ministry hub, office space and housing for staff and teams.
Church Planting is built into the DNA of who we are. City on a Hill has planted churches over the years. Hub Church in South Boston, Renewal Church in Bay Village, Indian Community Church in Waltham, and Milestone Church in Natick. In 2018 we joined forces with a young church plant called Redeemer Church to start City on a Hill Somerville and to become a network of neighborhood churches.
As City on a Hill presses into the future, we desire to be a church that is truly for the glory of God and the good of the city. We hope to continue to grow in generosity, service, and love for our community.
