Our History
The First Congregational Church of Richmond was
organized September 24, 1801 by two missionaries
from Connecticut. There was no church building until
1813 when twenty-nine Congregationalists, five
Baptist, five Christians, one or two Methodists, and
twenty-one Universalists became proprietors of the
Richmond Meeting House, now known as the Old Round
Church.
In 1849, the Congregationalists decided to build a
church of their own, located at the present site of
the Congregational church.
At a May 1903 church meeting, it was decided that it
was better to build a new church than repair the old
one. The members decided to raise some of the needed
money by selling some of the land. A new church
street was developed, now called Church Street.
The present building was completed in 1904, a porch
was added by 1918, an in 1984 a new addition was
dedicated. This building includes offices and Sunday
School rooms. One September 24, 2001, Richmond
Congregational Church celebrated 200 years of
ministry in Richmond and also the renovations to the
foundation, kitchen, and dining area.
