About First Parish in Cambridge

First Parish in Cambridge is a vibrant Unitarian Universalist congregation located in the heart of Harvard Square, welcoming a diverse community of spiritual seekers, justice-makers, and lovers of life. Nearly 400 years old, the congregation describes itself as a Meeting House—a place of transformative encounters that unite people across differences in shared spiritual practice and commitment to justice. The community emphasizes spiritual depth, service to neighbors, work for justice including anti-racism efforts, and a distinctive theology of love that transcends doctrinal boundaries. Worship services blend contemporary social witness with spiritual exploration, and the congregation actively serves the broader Cambridge community through meals programs, shelter provision, and partnership with local institutions like Harvard Book Store and Cambridge Forum.
