The United Methodist Church of Newton is an ethnically and culturally diverse congregation. Its multi-generational character provides a family-like setting for its members. UMC Newton continues to be a spiritual home for college students who live on western outskirts of Boston. We offer Watch-care for college students who want to maintain membership in their home church. Come Join us in worship and celebration of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!! The United Methodist Church of Newton is a vibrant church with big faith and ideas equally as big. Our church is dynamic and growing. Many visitors to our worship services have chosen to make UMC of Newton their church family, citing the welcoming nature of the church body and the attitude of prayer found within the worship. We have a very active children's ministry with 15+ children under 10 years attending Church School each Sunday. The members of the church maintain a variety of social and political perspectives, but the church body is unified as a community by the love and grace of Christ. The congregation meets at 430 Walnut Street in Newtonville, approximately a half mile south of the intersection of Washington Street and Walnut Street. The church building is located directly across from the new Newton North High School. The faith community of UMC of Newton is not limited to the building. With organized programs, like Newton Walks, Newton Serves, and Women's Lunch Place, along with other less formal ministries, the church remains active within the community. UMC of Newton continues seeking opportunities to witness for Jesus Christ throughout the local area

I landed on Logan Int'l Airport in Boston, MA in Aug 2003 in order to study Master of Divinity at Boston University. Within my first 10 days in the US, I met a future wife at the orientation of the program. The rest is history. Fast forward 19 years, we have now 3 amazing children.

I am on a journey to get closer to God. And so you are, I am certain. Sometimes, we are not conscious that we are on this journey and many times we are lonely. I want to be your friends. My church wants to be your friends.

I always welcome anyone and am available for a completely pressure-free coffee in a nearby coffee shop (I love Caffe Nero nearby!) Please let me know if you want to chat or need any help. Coffee is on me. Getting to know you, God's beloved, would be a gift to me.

Please know that God is with you and loves you.

There has been a longstanding Methodist influence within Newton, Massachusetts. The first Methodist church in the town was aptly named the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Newton. Since that time, there have been numerous Methodist churches and related organizations within the local area. Below is a chronological listing of Methodist churches established in Newton. 1832 First Methodist Episcopal Church of Newton, Newton Upper Falls 1860 Newtonville Methodist Episcopal Church 1864 Newton Methodist Episcopal Church, Newton Corner 1867 Newton Lower Falls Methodist Episcopal Church 1867 Auburndale Methodist Episcopal Church (merged to form United Parish of Auburndale) 1872 Highlandville Methodist Episcopal Church renamed Cline Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church 1875 Newton Center Methodist Episcopal Church 1979 United Methodist Church of Newton (our church) To learn of UMC of Newton's history, the history of each of the previously established churches must be reviewed. In repeated efforts to both unify Methodism within America into a single denomination and adapt to changes within Newton's population, these churches underwent a series of mergers that culminated with the 1979 merger into the United Methodist Church of Newton. The last of the churches to consolidate into our current church were Newtonville Methodist Church and Newton Center Methodist Episcopal Church. On July 1, 1979, the Newton Center and Newtonville churches merged, they chose the new church name, elected officers, trustees, committees, and a building committee. It was soon decided to sell both old churches and to build a new smaller church building. An existing building which had been used by the Newton School Department for over 20 years was up for sale here at 430 Walnut Street. The new church bought the property and renovated the existed building into their new church home. The remodeling was completed in time for the congregation to begin worshiping in early 1981. The character and traditions of the previous churches were not lost when the church moved into this new building. The parlor on the first floor was named the Gifford Room to honor Pastor Hamilton Gifford of the Newtonville UMC. The Good Shepherd stained glass window visible from Walnut Street came from the old Newtonville church, and the stained glass Narthex windows, featuring Methodism's founder John Wesley and American Bishop Francis Asbury, were moved here from the old Newton Center church. The church did not completely consolidate and develop all areas of its ministry by the time worship began at the new church. This is exemplified by the religious education program.
