Eliot St. Entrance
On Sunday mornings and during the week, we use the entrance on Eliot Street, on the side of the building. This entrance has a wheelchair-accessible ramp from the curb.
Main Entrance
When events are held in the sanctuary (for worship September–December and March–June, weddings, memorials, and other special events), we also open the main entrance, right under the big clock tower and facing the Monument.
Our Location
The First Church in Jamaica Plain UU is located at 6 Eliot Street, in the heart of Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood. Our historic stone Gothic Revival building is across from the Soldiers’ Monument at the corner of Centre Street and South Street.
Accessibility
The sanctuary, parish hall, kitchen, and dining room are all accessible and barrier-free for wheelchair-users via the Eliot Street ramp. There are two single-stall, non-gendered, accessible restrooms on the main floor. The church office and minister’s study are off of the stage, which requires four stairs to access (please call or email the office or Rev. EB if this is a barrier to access and we’ll arrange to meet with you in an accessible location). The room used for childcare, basement storage, parish hall stage, Morse Room, and the sanctuary’s chancel and pulpit all require stairs to access.
Parking
Street parking is generally available near the church. No resident sticker is required, but please obey all posted restrictions. A municipal (City of Boston) parking lot is one block away, behind the buildings on the 700 block of Centre Street (odd-numbered side), and accessible from Burroughs Street or Thomas Street.
Limited parking for people with disabilities is available in the church driveway in front of the main entrance.
