our church

     The First Congregational Church of Wareham was gathered in 1739 and chartered on December 25 of that year. Following a colonial tradition, the town of Wareham was also chartered at the same time.

     The present church is the fifth church erected on this site, the others being victims of time and an occasional fire. Wisely considering that a stone church would resist fire and the fact that the stone was free for only the effort of retrieving the stone from the nearby farmer's fields, the church fathers constructed the present Church in 1913.

     An unlikely edifice for a Congregational church, the tenor of sanctuary is set by the dark natural wood finish and the very large Charles J. Connick stained glass window; a gift of the Hathaway family.

     The church today enjoys an active enrollment of 125 members with a regular Sunday attendance of 70. There is also an active Church School with a registry of forty children from pre-k to grade six. There are four active church committees served by volunteers; Diaconate, Missions and Outreach, Education Committee, Trustees.

     New members are enrolled each January and encouraged to join these committees. Pledges are voluntary with service to the church and its activities being an acceptable substitute for monetary donations.

     While we retain our Congregational autonomy the church has become a member of the United Church of Christ facilitating a greater national and world outreach serving those in the distant arena of need. All are welcomed at our church. Same gender unions will be performed if requested. Please join us for worship and welcome.
