First Church in Charlestown was founded in 1632 in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, MA and was one of the oldest churches in Boston and the state of Massachusetts. It was dually aligned with both the United Church of Christ and the Southern Baptist Convention, holding to a conservative view of the Bible and holding to the traditional Reformed view of theology. It is the last church to be pastored by John Harvard, a founder, benefactor, and namesake of Harvard University.
