The Greek Evangelical Church of Boston

Our Purpose:

The purpose of our Church is to worship publicly our wonderful Lord, to preach and teach the Word of God, to lead the lost and sinning person to Jesus Christ, who is "the way and the truth and the life," and the only way to salvation, and to offer Christian company, love, encouragement and growth in the Christian faith.

The aim of the Church of Christ is to go into the entire world and to preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16: 15). The call of the gospel, then, is an invitation for every soul to come to Christ. It is the call that Christ Himself made inviting people to come near Him: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.".

This call from Christ conceals within itself all of the mercy, all of the love, all of the forgiveness and grace of God, because it is addressed to people who are weary and burdened, discouraged and afraid. This invitation is addressed to sinners who He calls neither to punishment nor defense, but to repentance for their sins, to faith in Christ Himself, to salvation, to rest, to forgiveness, to real life.

This heavenly and divine call is addressed to all. The response, which God awaits to this call, is that we personally go to Christ, because only Christ saves. He is the One who died for our sins, and was resurrected for our justification (Romans 4: 25). The aim of the Church is to show the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Holy Bible we read, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by whom we must be saved."

We Believe:

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy. We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save.

We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit or foreseen faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone for salvation.

We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him. We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
