Young Adults at Old North
1723 Club for Young Adults
Among Old North’s signature and distinctive ministries is the 1723 Club (named for our founding year). The 1723 Club is a lively, open and inclusive young adults group committed to providing opportunities for fellowship and personal growth through genuine friendships and support; discussing the application of faith to school/careers; and exploring questions of faith and Christianity. We also have fun together.
1723 Club members hail from across the U.S. and Canada. Religious backgrounds include several Christian denominations and traditions along with others who are newer to Christianity and seeking to grow in their faith and understanding. For those interested, our Vicar is happy to discuss baptism and opportunities for faith growth and development within the context of our unique and supportive community. All are welcome.
The Club provides a supportive and engaging community for those new to Boston, beginning school or careers, and all looking for a place to belong. The 1723 Club is a diverse and multicultural community, much like the Old North Congregation more broadly, and fully welcomes those who identify as LGBTQ+.
Some members are college and graduate students. Others are recent graduates or early in their careers. Professions and passions include law, architecture & historic preservation, technology, communications, finance & business, environmental conservation, scientific research, journalism, music, and more. Members live in the North End, East Boston, Allston, Medford, and Malden.
1723 Club members are active in all aspects of Old North’s congregational life. Sunday mornings young adults can be found ushering, singing in the choir, reading at services, serving communion, setting up the altar, managing the livestream as videographers, hosting coffee hour, active in outreach ministries, and more. Members also regularly participate in major congregational and community activities, such as the annual brass polishing party in November and greening the campus in December.
Throughout the year we host an array of events, including a Welcome Back BBQ, the Annual Brass Chandelier Weekend Brunch, Mid-Winter Dinner, and activities off-site. We regularly offer a more informal family style lunches and dinners in the Parish House and sometimes in area North End restaurants following community events and Sunday services. Recent activities have included an after-hours tour of the church and crypt, card games in the Parish House over pizza, and a tour of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Please contact us to join. We would be delighted to meet you.
