As we look forward to two momentous events, the sale of the church silver to help fund building renovations and the call for the next minister to lead First Parish, it behooves us also to look back, to understand where we have come from and how this history shapes who we are today.  The links below point to some profiles of First Parish ministers that consider both the minister and the congregation at a key moment of transition in the church.

Rev. Thomas Blowers (1701-1729)

Rev. John Calvin Kimball (1859-1868)
