Arlington Street Church is a Unitarian Universalist church located in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1729 as the "Church of the Presbyterian Strangers", it became independent in 1787, taking on a Congregational model. In 1803, it called William Ellery Channing as its minister who defined "Unitarian Christianity" and launched the Unitarian movement, making the Arlington Street Church one of the first to define itself as Unitarian. On May 17, 2004, the church was the site of the first state-sanctioned same-sex marriage in the United States.
