We are committed to building Christ’s Beloved Community with open minds, open hearts and open arms.
In the bible, Bethany was the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. It was the place Jesus went to find rest and respite with his friends. Bethany was known to be a stopover for the weary pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem.
Bethany was where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. It was where Mary sat at Rabbi Jesus’ feet. It was where Jesus brought the disciples before riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It was their lodging during Holy Week and where the disciples gathered just before the risen Christ ascended to heaven.
Bethany Church, UCC lives into its biblical namesake, being an anchor point and offering gifts of comfort, hope, inspiration and renewal. No matter who you are or where you are on your journey, you are welcome at Bethany Church!
Established in 1779, Bethany Church has been a spiritual home for many generations. Rooted in the Congregational tradition, we are an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ. Our current building, constructed in 1854, is located adjacent to the Foxboro town common. The sanctuary includes a large pipe organ and projection technology. The Family Life Wing houses a meeting space, a small gymnasium and our Off the Common Early Learning Center. The office wing houses staff offices, classrooms, The Foxboro Food Pantry and the Barton Chapel. We are self-governed and lay-leader empowered, believing that our combined spiritual gifts enrich everyone’s faith inside and beyond our doors. We want everyone to find a way to serve because service is at the heart of the good news of the gospel.
