New England Baptist Church sanctuary

About Us

A friendly family of believers in the heart of Medford

New England Baptist Church is a group of ordinary people seeking an extraordinary God. We are a King-James-Bible-believing, independent Baptist church located in historic Medford Square.

Who We Are

For generations, New England Baptist Church has been a spiritual home for families across the Greater Boston area. We exist to glorify God by preaching the Gospel, discipling believers, and serving our community with the love of Christ.

Whether you are new to church or have walked with the Lord for decades, you will find a warm welcome here. Our services blend traditional hymns with heartfelt preaching, and our ministries reach every age group — from nursery to seniors.

What to Expect

Friendly Faces

From the moment you walk through our doors, you will be greeted by people who genuinely care. We are not a crowd — we are a family.

Christ-Centered Worship

Our services focus on the Word of God and the person of Jesus Christ. You will hear the Bible preached with clarity, conviction, and compassion.

Programs for Everyone

Nursery care, Sunday School classes for all ages, vibrant youth group, adult Bible studies, and senior fellowship mean there is a place for your whole family.

Conservative Values

We hold to the historic Christian faith. Our music, standards, and teaching are rooted in Scripture and aimed at honoring God.

Community Outreach

From our bus ministry bringing children to church, to our Friday recovery program, to local soul-winning — we are passionate about reaching people.

A Place to Grow

We believe every Christian is called to serve. Whether you are gifted in teaching, music, hospitality, or simply have a willing heart, there is a place for you to grow and contribute.
