Directions

First Parish in Cambridge is the historic Meeting House (or church) in the heart of Harvard Square, across from the main entrance to Harvard Yard.

The church/meetinghouse is located at 1446 Massachusetts Avenue. The Parish House is at 3 Church Street, which is also the mailing address, where the church offices are located and where many events take place. The buildings are connected as one, and there is ground level elevator access to both at 1 Church Street.

If you do not have children to bring to the child care area via the 3 Church Street entrance, or do not need the elevator access at 1 Church Street, we ask that for worship services you enter the meetinghouse via the main entrance on Massachusetts Avenue.
