+ What should I expect when I arrive?

We know that church in a movie theater may feel a little different, but we promise that once you walk in, it will feel just like home. When you arrive, you will be welcomed by our friendly Host Team, who will greet you and guide you to our main service in Theater 16 or to Renewal Kids in Theater 13, where you can check in your little world-changer.

Visiting a new church is a big step, and we want you to feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated from the moment you arrive. We encourage you to connect with our volunteers, ask questions, and settle in comfortably. If you would like someone to reach out to you ahead of time, be sure to click the “Plan Your Visit” button anywhere on this page. As a bonus, you will also receive our list of 79 Must-Try Boston Restaurants.

+ How long is a Renewal Church service?

Our services are only about 60 minutes. We begin with the Renewal Worship Team leading us in a few uplifting songs. Lyrics will be projected on screens so you can follow along. After this time of worship music, one of our pastors will share a Gospel-centered, hope-filled message!

+ What should I wear?

You are welcome to wear whatever clothing you are comfortable in. You do not need to dress up, although you are more than welcome to if you would like. Most people dress in casual attire.

+ Do I need to bring anything?

Just bring yourself! YOU ARE ENOUGH.

+ What about my kids?

At Renewal Kids, our mission is to develop leaders who are passionately in love with Jesus. Each week, future world-changers grow more in love with God and his house through worship, interactive lessons, and of course, fun!

During both our 10:00 and 11:30 services, your little ones will experience a fun environment designed to teach through song, story time, and crafts. More time is devoted to lesson time and worship to help prepare your young ones as they grow and develop.

Or if you prefer them to worship with the whole family, during the 11:00 service we have a fun packet filled with activities to keep them engaged and excited about coming to church!

It’s not babysitting, it's leadership development.
