Bridging Divides Across Christians for the Flourishing of the City

March for Jesus 2026

Let’s unite, worship, and proclaim the name of Jesus Christ in the City of Boston. Join us for an epic revival in the heart of New England.

Welcome to Boston’s Official ‘March for Jesus. August 29th will be a historic day of worship, gospel proclamation, and prayer in Boston, where thousands of believers from across America will march from City Hall to the Boston Common—the very ground where America’s First Great Awakening ignited.

This is more than event, it’s a movement that will be remembered in the annals of history—when Christians came from across the nation—and filled the entire city of Boston, not for entertainment, not for a concert, but for one purpose: for Jesus Christ to manifest His Kingdom.

📍 Starting Point: Boston City Hall (on the plaza)

🚶 March for Jesus: 2:00 PM until 3 PM

🙌 Revive Boston: 3:00 PM until 8 PM (Parkman Bandstand, Boston Common)

Revive Boston on the Common
For five unbroken hours at the Parkman Bandstand, we will worship, proclaim the name of Jesus, cast out demons, heal the sick, and pray for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And in a powerful display of transformation, we will also be holding water baptisms for new believers—right in the heart of the city! If you wish to be baptised you can register HERE.

Now is the time for revival in Boston. Bring your fire. Bring your praise. Bring your flags, banners and shofars! Don’t miss the opportunity to be part history. Come expectant.

Jesus Was Migrant Film Screening and Discussion

Join the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts Office of Immigration & Multicultural Ministries, the Massachusetts Episcopal Network for Justice and Joy (ENJJOY), and Episcopal City Mission for a screening and conversation of the documentary film Jesus as a Migrant.

We will screen the film together online and then be led in conversation by The Rev. Canon Jean Baptiste Ntagengwa, Th.D., Canon for Immigration & Multicultural Ministries. This is a chance for us to learn about one aspect of immigration, discuss our call as Christians in this moment, and hear about the work being done in our diocese and how we can support our immigrant neighbors.

About the film: Dr. Jemar Tisby travels to the U.S. – Mexico border to examine the theological crisis at the heart of American Christianity — and what it means when a nation built on faith turns its back on the most vulnerable. A documentary about borders, belief, and what we owe each other. View the Trailer Here

Please fill out this interest form and links to film and the meeting will be sent out closer to the event. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Dr. Ntagengwa at jbntagengwa@diomass.org or 617-482-4826 x400.
