bicentennial celebration
The world has changed since 1809 when sea-weary travelers caught sight of their first welcome to Boston—the glistening steeple of Park Street Church.
Two centuries later, the convictions of a common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ continues to make Park Street Church a welcoming refuge for weary travelers. The church has grown to offer numerous ministries that impact people from all walks of life.
Since its founding in 1809, Park Street Church has been the site of many historic events and has been a pioneer in many social, national and theological concerns. Discover more of Park Street Church’s innovative history online or through a guided Freedom Trail tour. Enjoy an in-depth look into the history and identity of Park Street Church by ordering your copy of Boston’s Historic Church by Garth Rosell or by watching the half-hour documentary created by Chris Gilbert of Lamp Post Media. (You may find either resource at the church.)
Park Street Church invites you to join the Bicentennial Celebration by participating in any of the activities and events scheduled throughout this year.
A special focus of the celebration involves a monthly Bicentennial Guest Speaker Series continuing through January 2010. All speakers will present on engaging topics that illuminate Christian belief, address objections or challenges and motivate love for others.
The celebration launched with the Bicentennial Gala and Dinner, commemorating the 200th anniversary of February 27, 1809, when twenty-six Bostonians signed the Park Street Church charter that marked the church's birth. The Gala was held at the Westin Copley and was attended by over a thousand people.
