The First Church in Roxbury, also known as the First Church of Roxbury is the current headquarters of the Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry. A church on this site has been in use since 1632 when early English settlers built the first meetinghouse. Since then, the meetinghouse has been rebuilt four times, and its appearance today reflects how the meetinghouse looked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ()
