About Overseas Burmese Christian Fellowship (OBCF)

Our mission is to be the shining beacon and to lead an exemplary Christian life for those who live in our surroundings. All of our church activities give us an opportunity to get together as families, to provide spiritual, emotional, moral support to one another, and to collectively reevaluate and reexamine our role and responsibilities as an individual Christian and as members of the Overseas Burmese Christian Fellowship. Our worship services and bible studies are conducted in both English and Burmese language.

Our Ministries

Special Services and Events

Occasionally we hold special services such as women led service, male led service and sing-song service. We also have joint services a few times throughout the year with other congregations in the International Community Church.

We hold special evening worship services at the church for important days such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.

Monthly Bible Study

We hold a bible study at a zoom meeting. These sessions are often on every Wednesday evening and include time for group discussion, prayer and fellowship.

Group Retreats

OBCF holds a group retreat at least a couple of times throughout the year to strengthen our faith and renew our commitment to God, to our congregation and to our fellow community members. Most of these retreats are held at various camp sites and lodging in the New England area.

Conference Participation

OBCF is blessed with many young children ranging from toddlers to teenagers. There is a Sunday School program for children each week at the same time as the adult service to teach children the word of God at an early age. The curriculum is currently led by Yunn Brianne Tha. It consists of bible stories, songs and crafts.

Children Ministry

Our church sends youth and adult representatives every year to attend conferences held by various religious organizations including American Baptist Women, American Baptist Youth and Burmese Christian Association of North America.

Burmese Students Dinner

OBCF Church is hosting a special dinner every month for students from Boston University, Boston College, MIT, Tufts University, Harvard University, Northeastern University, and many more. This event welcomes students throughout the entire academic year, not only Burmese students but also international students from various majors, creating a vibrant gathering of cultures and backgrounds. Typically, 30 to 55 students attend this Burmese Students Dinner. The dinner is part of OBCF Church's ministry, aimed at fostering community and support among students as they navigate their academic journeys together. Everyone enjoyed a delightful evening filled with delicious traditional Burmese food and meaningful connections.
