Such a great historic landmark with such rich history. They are very blessed to have Pastor Jamie Washam as their guide. She is so passionate about the deep history rooted here and how we need to study and learn from it to move forward.

Historically, it certainly has a place of significance but from a spiritual standpoint, it is so far removed from what Roger Williams established it to serve as, is now disheartening.

Pretty cool the this church predated the Fourth of July and that George Washington may have made his way here. The exterior is stately, the interior is simple with closed pews. Nicely done.

Beautiful old church. They have a very informative video and then we walked around the church by ourselves. Several very old documents and pieces our where you can see them close up. It is a beautiful place worth the visit!! Cost is a donation.

Sunday school is provided at 10am for children up to a certain age. Apart from that, there is Adult Forum during that same time for adults. During Adult Forum, speakers from the congregation, from the community, and from the world are invited to speak to us on topics of faith, social justice, human rights, missions, community, & a host of other issues. NOTE: There is no adult form or Sunday School during the summer months, from Memorial Day through the Labor Day. During that time, Sunday services begin at 10 am.
