First Congregational Church Of Fall River founded in 1816

The Congregational Tradition in America
First Congregational Church is part of a long and distinguished American religious tradition, dating back to the founding of Massachusetts and the other early colonies of New England. The Pilgrims, who founded Plymouth Colony, and the other Puritans who founded Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony, were staunch Congregationalists, who brought their faith with them from England. We’ve changed a great deal in the nearly four centuries since our spiritual ancestors came over on the Mayflower, but we are their direct descendants and we still hold to many of the key features of our faith heritage.
