What visitors say
Contemporary, non-denominational church that fully embraced my family for 3 years in Cambridge. The Senior Pastor, Steve Watson, and others from the ministry team consistently prepared a thoughtful and challenging message of faith. We enjoyed the many people and families that became part of our lives. Our kids loved the children's ministry and looked forward to church. My family's faith grew tremendously at Reservoir! We truly miss the folks there. I’ve had an amazing experience at this church. Fantastic music, beautiful building, warm and welcoming people, and meaningful messages — truly a gem! My faith has grown immensely here. The Sunday services are user-friendly for a newcomer and also offer a lot for someone with more knowledge of the Bible. The community groups and virtual services are wonderful, as well! This church became my new home after I moved up to Cambridge for law school. I come from an evangelical (charismatic) background and my work is in social justice (currently refugee/immigration law). Every time I move to a new city, it's difficult to find a new church. Social justice churches tend to lack a passion for the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit-filled churches tend to lack a passion for Social Justice. I always feel spiritually homeless. Reservoir does both really well. They have a passion for prayer, worship, healing (mystical side of God) and they are active players in justice work in Boston & the world. More important than anything, they are an extremely loving, welcoming, and authentic community. I've been in churches that do both justice and worship well, but not community. No fun. Reservoir is a family of quirky amazing friends you can't get enough of. Everyone really, truly (I say from experience) cares about you. Come here! Church community is hard to do well, and Reservoir accomplishes a deft balancing act of being welcoming, helpful, and growth-inspiring to folks with longtime church experiences and those with none. My wife and I have been coming here for 8 years and we're sold-out for Reservoir's positive engagement with secular culture, diversity, and welcoming stance to many who may feel out of place at traditional churches in the area (ourselves included). Disclosure: My wife liked being a part of Reservoir so much, she left teaching to go on pastoral staff almost three years ago! But if this church sucked, I would tell you even if my wife worked there. Most importantly, free bagels and coffee. WOW! The senior pastor here, STEVEN WATSON, is SO TALENTED! Such a cutie, and his WIFE, GRACE? Don't even get me started. She is so beautiful and is really the main reason that I have attended each Sunday for so many years.
