About Us
We are 3 women in our mid 30s-early 40s. One of us works in full time Christian ministry, one works in biotech, and one works as a company administrator for a startup. All three of us are involved in churches in the Boston area. We are looking for a 4th housemate – a woman who is walking with the Lord, in the 30-45 age range (or the right fit, even if younger or older), and who is excited about enjoying and cultivating the sort of house/community we desire to have.
Our Vision
We are intentional about cultivating regular encouragement and fellowship among us by prioritizing a weekly shared meal and prayer time together. Our house is also a place where each of us can host things like Bible studies, games nights, movies nights, etc., and where there is plenty of separate space for quiet and more contemplative refreshment as well. The way the house is set up (two living room areas on separate floors; a front and back staircase) allows for something quite social to be happening on the first floor of the house, and for nooks of quietness to remain for roommates who are doing their own thing and desire separateness. We value courtesy, communication, kindness, moments of community/shared joy/encouragement, room for solitude/quiet, and we divide chores among us on a rotating basis.
