Jubilee Christian Church International is a Christian Church located in Boston, Massachusetts. With a congregation of over 6,800, it is, according to the Boston Globe, the largest Protestant church in Eastern Massachusetts. The church operates New England's largest Christian bookstore, and hosts an annual gospel concert which draws some of the biggest names in gospel music.

According to the church's website, the teachings of the church ministry follow the fundamental truths of Christian orthodoxy. The church does not appear to be affiliated with a particular Christian denomination, though a Boston Herald article about the church describes it as Pentecostal. The church is part of the Church of God (Anderson, IN) reformation movement. The fellowship is part of the Holiness Movement.^{[citation needed]}

A $9.2 million office building that the church built in Dudley Square has been hailed as revitalization by some and decried as gentrification by others[2][3]
