The Generational Cure

We will have an incredible line up of live music being performed, a message by the pastor and testimonies by Teen Challenge. We have seen tremendous breakthroughs and miracles during the first two events. Testimonials by people declaring they have surrendered their lives over to the care of Jesus and were healed from the bondages of addiction, mental health and abuse. This is a free event and all are welcome. Join us to celebrate the joy of life and the power of Christ. We stand together with God believing to break chains and generational curses.

Renew: A UniteBoston Backyard Concert Series

This summer, UniteBoston is hosting a series of four backyard concerts throughout the neighborhoods of Boston. This collaborative space invites Christian artists and budding songwriters to share the songs, poems, artwork, and dances that have emerged out of the challenges of this past year. Our hope is that these concerts will restore bonds of friendship, justice, and resilience, bringing renewal to the body of Christ and our surrounding communities. We’ve lamented, we’ve grieved; now it’s time to come together to rejoice and RENEW.

1 Peter 5:10 – After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who called you into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you.

Dates & Locations:

Saturday July 10th | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Dorchester

Thursday July 22nd | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Medford

Saturday July 31st | 6:30 to 8:30pm | Roxbury

We are grateful for friends of UniteBoston who have graciously opened their backyards for us to host these concerts. Because of the limited capacity of these spaces, we are requiring registration. Click here to register via Eventbrite. After registration, you will also receive an email with the specific address of the backyard concert.

Also: We welcome all artists and creative-types to participate in the open mic portion of the concerts! Click here to sign up to share a song, spoken word poem, dance, or visual artistic piece during the open mic series. We seek to create an environment that is welcoming to people of all skill levels.

Please help us to spread the word to colleagues, friends, and neighbors – a great way to do this is through the Facebook event. All are welcome!

Refining Fire – EGC Virtual Concert and Fundraiser

The Emmanuel Gospel Center Fundraiser will be an online concert and fundraiser event, shown via an hour-long video production. This will consist of music videos, EGC program content, and other voices from the city. The theme for this year is Refining Fire. The inspiration behind this theme is to recognize that the past year has been filled with trials and tribulations, and we all have been affected both as a community and in our personal lives. Our hope is that these difficulties would not break us down but would refine and strengthen us. The online event, of course, is free to watch, but this will still be EGC’s annual fundraiser.

Links to Re-Watch the Love Boston Concert

The incredible music that was produced at the Love Boston concert can be re-watched while you’re at work, cooking, or doing chores around the house!

On September 12, 2020 UniteBoston released our concert premiere entitled “Love Boston.” Amidst the challenges of today’s public health crisis and racial injustices, seven local Christian artists representing hip-hop, worship, soul, spoken word, and gospel genres united to share original artistic responses to the challenges we are facing as a city and nation. They challenged people to “love thy neighbor,” and inspired us in the action steps we can take forward together in this unprecedented cultural moment.

Featured artists include: Caleb McCoy, Shanell Alyssa, Ada Betsabè, Jen Aldana, Jeany Alcántara, Fugi, and Jalen Williams. Click here to meet the artists! Now more than ever, our souls need beauty and art that moves us toward faith, justice, and resilience, loving our neighbor, and toward Jesus in worship! Click on the artist names above to follow them & listen to more music by them!

We also had a variety of viewing parties take place throughout the city – Here was the Dorchester backyard viewing party! You can’t see it, but we are smiling behind these masks!

While we missed having the opportunity to worship together physically in the Boston Common, the beauty of this year’s worship event is that all of the videos can be re-watched and shared. You can watch it while cooking, working from home, doing the dishes or folding the laundry, walking in the park, commuting on the subway, the list goes on and on!

Music only version of the concert

Lori Dupre created a progressive painting where the artists place their handprints over words like global pandemic, economic stress, and fear, replaced by words of healing and hope and a cityscape of Boston. This painting will be auctioned off at our concert premiere

Finally, we wanted to take time to thank our concert sponsors – the Emmanuel Gospel Center, Resurrection Church, Restoration City Church, Grace Chapel, Standing Ovation Entertainment, and the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, as well as everyone who contributed to our production costs! Also, thank you to everyone who donated to support the artists – The contributions for the artists totaled $1575, which will help to fuel and further their music ministries in this crucial moment! Thank you so much for joining into this united worship movement where people of every nation, people and language are coming together to worship Jesus! (Rev. 7:9!)
