The First Church in Roxbury, also known as the First Church of Roxbury is the current headquarters of the Unitarian Universalist ("UU") Urban Ministry. A church on this site has been in use since 1632 when early English settlers built the first meetinghouse.[1] Since then, the meetinghouse has been rebuilt four times,[2] and its appearance today reflects how the meetinghouse looked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1]
