Christ Church Cambridge
About
Christ Church Cambridge is an Episcopal parish on Cambridge Common near Harvard Square that describes itself as a place of affirming sanctuary for the diverse community around it. The congregation welcomes old and young, people of all races and ethnicities, rich and poor, the LGBTQ+ community, and singles, couples and families in their many forms. Worship centers on thanksgiving, with recurring themes of God’s grace, the call to justice and mutual responsibility.
The church building dates to 1761 and is the oldest church building in Cambridge, designed by the colonial architect Peter Harrison. During the Revolution it housed Continental soldiers, and George and Martha Washington attended a service there. Today the parish aims to be a place of hospitality, hope, redemption and peace for people in Cambridge and beyond, and invites anyone at any point in a journey with or toward God to take part.
