Venue Information

For over 375 years, First Church has welcomed searchers and seekers, pilgrims and pioneers to share on the journey of faith that guided is by God’s grace, every step of the way. Though we celebrate a rich and robust history and tradition, we are called to live out our faith in the present, to make what is ancient fresh, and to make our ideals for the future relevant in the here and now. Here is just a snapshot of our earlier years:

Gathered in 1633-1636, First Church in Cambridge is considered to be the 11th oldest congregation in New England.
In October of 1633, the learned “Puritan divine,” Rev. Thomas Hooker, begins preaching in the first meeting house. Three years later, Hooker and “Mr. Hooker’s company” remove to Connecticut to found Hartford and the Colony of Connecticut.
