Classes began in East Cambridge at “Lechmere Point” in 1818, with the first church on Gore Street in 1823, and then on Third Street in 1824, and named Ebenezer Chapel. In 1870 a new church was constructed and named Trinity. It was a revival church, sending out praying bands, which led to the founding of Harvard Street in Cambridge, and Union Square in Somerville.
