Navigation Brewery

Address: 15 Central Square, Chelmsford, MA 01824

We are conducting our business meeting at Navigation Brewery, a local establishment owned by a friend of The Shepherd’s Church, a faithful supporter of Christ’s kingdom, and—if we may be so bold—the finest brewer in all of New England. In honor of the gathering, he’s sharing the Bucer Presbytery’s first-ever official brew: the Bucer Bräu.
