About Reservoir Church. We value Connection, Everyone, Action, Freedom and Humility

Vision & Values

We are here to inspire people to discover the love of Jesus, the joy of living, and the gift of community.

Who's Who

Everyone’s story matters at Reservoir Church, and we encourage everyone in our congregation to contribute and to lead. We hope you will join us and enjoy getting to know the amazing people who make our community rich, vibrant, and diverse. To get you started, these are the stories of our staff members and a bit of information about our governing board.

Sunday Mornings

On Sundays, we make space for enjoyable connection—with God and with other people. We've done our best to make Sundays as accessible as possible, whatever your background—whether you're a longtime church attendee or this is your first time giving it a try.

Neighboring and Justice

Our church has a long legacy of building relationships with the people who live and work in our neighborhood, and we continue to build sustainable and mutually-edifying partnerships with individuals and organizations throughout the City of Cambridge. We are widely recognized as a church that loves our neighbors, and we partner with the public schools, the police, and our neighbors to sponsor events and meet needs in North Cambridge.

Our Story

In the mid-90s, three Cambridge residents noticed just how few people in our city were regular churchgoers. These three found themselves imagining a church that might experience powerful, Jesus-centered faith in a way that would make sense to people whose last church experience might have been in their childhood, or never. They contacted several friends and asked them if they’d consider starting just such a church together. And Reservoir Church was born.

Our Partners

Reservoir Church is connected to a network of partners and friends who also care about the love of Jesus, the joy of living, and the gift of community.

Giving

Giving is one of the most delightful and terrifying things we do. Few things are more fun than giving someone exactly what they want, few things more painful than having a gift awkwardly rejected. Because giving is so central to our human experience, it’s also an important aspect of our community life at Reservoir Church; we can do so much more together than any of us can do alone.
