First Church In Cambridge Congregational

I’m only commenting on this as a venue for the Boston Early Music Festival concert series.
The venue is beautiful and decorative without being over (t)ly ornate. Seats were added at the sides so that you could view the stage facing or behind the performers. The sound quality was solid, the open space allowing for a clarity of sound to come through. It’s located near the Harvard T stop, and close to eateries, making it a wonderful place to catch a concert. Kudos for BEMF and the First Church UCC for making it happen!

This is a great, welcoming, open in many senses of the word congregation in a stunningly beautiful historic Cambridge landmark building. If you walk by the church everyday, try stopping in one Sunday morning at 11 or for the evening Jazz service.
The music is top notch, across the board. You can hear an organ played by Peter Sykes, which was designed by one of the congregants. The choir is lovely, but I’m biased.
There are two ministers, Mary and Dan. Both are kind, smart, articulate, funny, approachable, and definitely in this profession for the right reasons.
The congregation tends toward the academically inclined — but welcomes all types, and you’ll see all types represented. I’ve been attending this church for about a year and a half, and every single Sunday or other day I show up for something, I learn something new about God, myself, and some fascinating bit about one of my fellow parishioners. Check it out.
