First Parish Church, Parish church in Portland, United States
The granite First Parish Church stands at 425 Congress Street in Portland, featuring three round-arch entrances and an octagonal belfry with a clock tower.
Established in 1674 and constructed in 1825, this Federal period structure remains the oldest church building in Portland and survived the great fire of 1866.
The Unitarian Universalist congregation holds services combining traditional elements with contemporary programs, including pagan solstice celebrations and nativity pageants.
Located near Portland City Hall and the public library, the church provides assistive listening devices and maintains accessibility features for all visitors.
Inside the church, a chandelier displays a 12-pound cannonball that British forces fired during their 1775 attack on Portland.
