An Open and Affirming Congregation
All are Welcome
Welcome to Old North Church in Marblehead!
Join us every Sunday for worship at the Lighthouse in Chandler Hovey Park at 8am and in our historic meetinghouse at 10am!
We are a "come as you are" church, with people of all ages; we are long-time churchgoers and people who are just starting to explore the mysteries of faith; we are a growing congregation, and we are looking forward to meeting you. We are an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, first gathered in 1635, but determined not to let our rich history eclipse our present and future as a vibrant, progressive Christian community of believers, seekers, saints, skeptics and would-be followers of Jesus Christ.
Rehearsals for the 46th annual Festival Chorus Concerts are well underway! If you – or a business colleague of yours – are interested in Festival Chorus program book advertising, or supporting the Festival Chorus with a financial contribution, please visit the Old North Festival Chorus website at: www.oldnorthfestivalchorus.org or click here.

Our Vision Statement
Old North Church is an inclusive Christian Community
called to bring to life God’s love and grace
by sharing the gospel for this time and place;
extending the hospitality Christ showed;
embodying God’s love and compassion to those in need;
and growing together in our understanding and experience of the Holy Spirit at work in our midst.
