This church started at first in 1947 as a Bible study group on Main Street in Hingham and over the last number of years has constructed a fairly nice church campus on Main Street. Supposedly there are about 700 members (although I don't know if boston.com is reporting members or regular attenders). There is a very large ground level parking lot that almost never gets full. The senior pastor for the last couple of decades is Jeramie Rinne, a Gordon-Conwell graduate. I would describe it with these adjectives: - Evangelical - the Bible is the final authority for faith and life; - Baptist - primarily emphasis on believer's baptism (and allow for infant dedication) as well as local church autonomy (well, primarily the local church should govern itself with denominational assistance) - Family-oriented: as with many suburban churches, the main affinity group seems to be families (so there are many family-related ministries including nursery, a youth group called "Olympians for Christ", marriage/family/parenting classes and ministries, and so on) I have gotten a good sense that Pastor Jeramie is very friendly man and is very personable, and at the same time, he is well-studied and practices decent Christian apologetics. The church is of course influenced by Park Street Church of Boston, MA -- many of the families are transplanted from there (or maybe members met and married and then moved to the South Shore and then started at South Shore Baptist). They have an annual Missions Conference at the same time as Park Street's (i.e., first two weeks of November). At least with the leadership and ministers, they do a good job of teaching (and expounding) the Scriptures and giving some application. They have tackled a number of relevant issues I think in a non-emotional non-name-calling manner that also has done justice to the Bible.

Pastor Stephen McDonald is a gifted speaker and a man of God. I was and am impressed by his ability to make clear the Old and New testaments of the Bible.

I absolutely love this sweet country church…read more We had my daughter's Baptism here last month, and it was lovely and perfect. (Although the church itself is incredibly charming, I might be just slightly biased, as my parents were married here almost 40 years ago... and I was baptised here! I really do love this church, and the nostalgia of old pictures taken here is just an added bonus.) Reverend Meg could not have been kinder or more welcoming. The whole parish, actually, couldn't have been more wonderful. We don't attend regular worship services yet, but everyone was just so sweet, and made us feel completely welcome and really, like we were part of their family. It was such a special day for my family, and I just can't imagine a more lovely congregation, reverend or church to have shared this day with.
