Welcome from the people of CHPC


You are invited to join us at Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church. We are located in Somerville, MA at the corner of Powderhouse Blvd and Curtis Street, two blocks from Tufts University, near North Cambridge, Medford, and Arlington. We are a small but growing church with members that come from all over the greater Boston area.

We would love to have you become involved in our our fellowship, worship, education, and outreach ministry. In the midst of the business of life, we offer sanctuary, community, and spiritual renewal.  Come join us as we work to glorify and enjoy God, follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and live in the power of the Holy Spirit.
