BECOME A MEMBER

Help preserve the Congregational story by joining our membership community.

We welcome you to join the engaged community who support the ongoing preservation, interpretation and presentation of a collection that spans over 400 years. Encompassing the Congregational story as it first emerged from early modern England, to its expansion to Japan, and continuing impact on our contemporary world, we are continually making new discoveries that inform history.

Your gift directly supports the work of the library as we continue to build our collection and make materials and programs freely available to faith communities, students, scholars, and the general public. Scroll down for more information on individual, student, and church memberships.

If you have any questions regarding memberships, please contact Heather Kurtz, Director of Development at 617.523.0470 ext. 230 or hkurtz@14beacon.org.
