Greater Boston Nazarene Compassionate Center

GBNCC was founded by Pastor Pierre-Louis Zephir in 1996 as a voluntary ministry of the Haitian Church of the Nazarene Friends of the Humble to respond to the spiritual and socio-economic needs of its community and particularly of the Haitians residing in Boston. We are located at 130 River Street in Mattapan, Massachusetts.

The Center is situated in the heart of the community of the immigrants in need of its services. The Center stands in a perfect position to be the centerpiece between differing groups of people to help overcome the economic, cultural, and language barriers that exits. There is a sense of trust and safety attached to a "Faith-based Center" that makes it an ideal place for people to seek help for themselves. The Center has the adequate space, ideal location, and the concerned individuals who are committed to seeing people succeed academically, as well as socially. Additionally, in an effort to help our students become familiar with the culture, we take them on field trips to social and historical places around Boston.
