About First Congregational Church
First Congregational Church is a Christian church in Cromwell Connecticut. This Congregational church serves Middlesex County CT
First Congregational Church of Cromwell was established January 5th, 1715 to serve a group of 24 individuals who wanted a church home of their own. Throughout the centuries the church has been an intricate part of the community reaching out to all of its residents to minister to all.
We are a community made up of individuals and families from all facets of life, religious backgrounds, young and old, whom have one thing in common; we believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, was dead, buried and on the 3rd day rose again – thus because of our faith in Jesus Christ and what He did, we are called Christians.
For us, it’s all about relationships. First and foremost – with God through His Son, Jesus Christ; second – with other believers gathered together for worship, fellowship, prayer and ministry together; and third – with the community reaching out beyond our doors to share with others God’s life changing love.
