An Open and Affirming Congregation
All are Welcome
Welcome to Old North Church in Marblehead!
Join us every Sunday for worship in our historic meetinghouse at 8am and 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.

Pulpit Swap with Temple Emanu-El March 6 (6PM) and March 8 (10AM) For decades, the clergy of Old North Church and Temple Emanu-El have engaged in annual "pulpit swaps" as a sign of mutual respect and our shared history. On March 6, at 6pm, Rev. Lindsay will give the sermon at Temple Emanu-El's shabbat service (all ONC community members are warmly invited to attend!), and on March 8, Rabbi Jenn will give the sermon at our 10am service (there will be no 8am service that day). In days of increased polarization and rising antisemitism, it is important for us to gather and affirm our common ground.
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.
