OAC Boston Branch

Boston is one of Americas' most historic cities.

Boston is one of the most important cities in America's past, present, and future. Boston is the cultural hub of New England, and an important center of commerce. No city is more prominent in higher education; the Boston area is home to over one hundred institutions of higher learning including Harvard, MIT, Boston College, and Boston University. Healthcare, biotechnology, finance, and computer technology are important industries in the Boston area.

OAC has had a presence in Boston since 1986, and we currently have more staff there than in any other city in the US. Our staff in Boston proclaims the gospel in parks, on college campuses, and on city sidewalks (Harvard Square is a favorite preaching spot). We also have a regular outreach to children in neighborhoods around the city. In the winter we user our smaller hand-held sketchboard and hold evangelistic meetings in the subway stations.
