Clarendon Street Baptist Church, Protestant church in Back Bay, Boston, United States
The church building features Gothic Revival elements with red sandstone walls, arched doorways, decorative stonework, and a tall steeple at Clarendon Street.
Founded in 1827 as Federal Street Baptist Church, the congregation relocated twice before settling at Clarendon Street in 1869 under Pastor Adoniram Gordon.
The congregation established the Boston Missionary Training School in 1889, which later developed into Gordon College, a Christian liberal arts institution.
The original church structure operated until 1982 when a fire caused extensive damage, leading to its conversion into residential apartments in 1987.
The church's legacy continues through Gordon College's Clarendon Scholars program, which provides educational opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds.
