A Coastal church with an open mind and open arms where everyone is welcome.
In November of 1704, a small group first gathered to form what would become Little Compton's beloved UNITED CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. The first structure went up in 1724 served the parishioners for over 100 years, and was demolished in 1832.
Its timbers, and all the history absorbed in them, were used for a simple, single-story church – the foundation of the one we worship in today.
As years passed, the building survived multiple renovations and natural disasters. The congregation survived changing lifestyles and attitudes. Thirty-four ministers have helped write our magnificent history.
Throughout this journey, our faith has deepened. Today, our illuminated church steeple symbolizes the love in our church and in our hearts.
