6 Eliot Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 office@firstchurchjp.org 617-221-3059 We are on the unceded territory of the Massachusett people, who have lived in reciprocity with the land for thousands of years. Our church building sits at a junction of roads that were once Indigenous trade and travel routes. First Church’s Puritan ancestors are responsible for the theft of these lands and for cultural and physical violence against Indigenous people. At least three of the church founders enslaved people of African descent. This church was also financially supported by members who were merchants profiting from the unpaid labor of enslaved people and the commodities they produced. Our congregation has begun the work of repair by learning and telling our more complete history. We will continue to work with community and denominational partners as we strive to make our community whole. We invite you to bring your open heart, your ideas, and your commitment into this work.

Giving Thanks for the Roof Over Our Heads

November 23, 2025 at 11:00 am Rev. Elizabeth Bukey Saunter, Tim Williamson

The church is about to finish the last major projects in our recent capital campaign. In this season of thanksgiving, let’s take a moment to remember what we’ve accomplished, what it means for our congregation and community, and pause to be thankful for all that.

Our Building as a Ministry

In the October 9 church service we will celebrate our church, its roof, and how it serves our community. As we begin our capital campaign we will focus on the importance of our church building to our own congregation and the broader Jamaica Plain community.
