Også kendt som Christ Church of Boston, denne kirke har tre poster. Det er den ældste stående kirke i Boston, det mest besøgte historiske syn i byen, og den har også den højeste stejle i Boston, næsten 60 meter høj.
Den blev bygget i 1723 og spillede også en afgørende rolle i den amerikanske revolution. I april 1775, da de britiske styrker gik videre langs Charles-floden, gav Robert Newman, en amerikansk patriot, et signal fra kirkens top ved at tænde to lanterner. Dette var med til at gøre de amerikanske soldater opmærksomme på fjendens position.
En del af kirken er også en chokoladebutik, der sælger chokolade fremstillet efter opskrifter fra 1700-tallet. Fans af computerspil husker muligvis kirken fra den seneste tilføjelse til Fallout-serien: Fallout 4.
