THE BOSTON FELLOWS
GOD HAS A PROVINCE FOR YOU TO OVERSEE.
The Boston Fellows is a nine-month program for professionals seeking to cultivate the insights and spiritual habits necessary for meaningful vocation within a cohort of peers, spiritual leaders, and professional mentors through the local church.
DISCOVER YOUR CALLING(S)
The Boston Fellows program equips emerging leaders to serve God and neighbor in the working world. We are passionate about workplace excellence, the well-being of Greater Boston, and Christ-like living. For the nine months of the program, from September to May, Fellows join a cohort (small group) to work, study, and pray in community.
LEARN ABOUT GOD’S VISION FOR YOUR WORK
Whether your career is soaring or stuck in traffic, you need to know deep down what your work is about, beyond a paycheck, a good career move, or even that dream job. The Boston Fellows are equipped with the intellectual tools, spiritual habits, character development, community, and network to run the race well. Envision and plan for a career with meaning and purpose for the greater good of our Boston workplaces and culture, for Christ and His Kingdom. See what alumni have said:
Jump Into Adventure
Fellows also share in outdoor adventures during three weekend retreats—close to Labor Day, mid-winter, and near Memorial Day—in partnership with the peerless La Vida Center for Outdoor Education and Leadership. Fellows take a break, enjoy God’s creation, bond with each other, and get time alone with God to reflect. Fellows push themselves—a little or a lot—in outdoor experiences following La Vida’s “challenge by choice” philosophy.
A letter from the founder
"'Massachusetts has been the wheel within New England, and Boston the wheel within Massachusetts. Boston therefore is often called the 'hub of the world,' since it has been the source and fountain of the ideas that have reared and made America."
The Rev. F.B. Zinckle, Last Winter in the United States (1868)
This is Boston.
Our city doesn't take its place in the American story lightly. Boston has been central to European settlement on the continent, to the formation of the country, to learning, to finance, to technological innovation. The nation is rooted in this city's civic tradition, intellectual foundations, literature, arts, entertainment, and sports history. Boston has often led the globe, for good and for ill.
This pride of place borders on arrogance, but it’s hard to argue with the evidence. Because of this historic role, many of us see Boston as a key to the spiritual renewal of the world beyond its borders.
And something is happening here. There is a “quiet revival” going on, visible to many who are deeply invested in the common good of our city. The Boston Fellows is just one of many organizations determined to heed the prophet's call: “Seek the welfare of the city… for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” (Jeremiah 29:7) People are praying, working, dreaming for God’s renewed favor on everyone here.
At the Boston Fellows, we are committed to workplace excellence, to the good of Greater Boston, and to Christ-like living. We want to play our part in forming a culture characterized by integrity, character, lasting achievement, the well-being of all in the community, and gratitude toward our Creator and Redeemer. We want a legacy of influence built the hard way, through earned trust and results.
We are looking for Fellows willing to invest in this city, for a purpose beyond themselves.
Does that sound like you?
