In Brookline, on Colchester Street, is the Sears Chapel (also Christ's Church), which was built in 1866, which is where Unity Boston holds its services.

The church is located on the Brookline (western) side of the Muddy River and is near the Longwood Medical Center. It is a bit hard to navigate the streets in this area. It is on Colchester Street, off Kent Street or Chapel Street. There is limited on-street parking along Colchester Street.

The church is a stone building, with the main entrance on the east end. At this end is a square bell tower extending well above the peaked roof. The bell tower also has a circular window above the door. The other end has a series of stained glass windows in a bowed out section.

The church was built in 1866, according to a history book found online by Hon. David Sears. The structures was a copy of a church in Colchester, England. It was dedicated in 1862 and named "Christ's Church," which has been since been known as "Christ's Church, Longwood." His objective was to furnish a church, "where all might worship in the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace."

Today, the Unity Church denomination occupies this church and has interdenonimational services. The Unity religion is headquartered in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
