This sketch of the history of the First Congregational Church in Cromwell has been written for the services held in celebration of the church's 275th anniversary and is an updated version of a history of the church written for the 250th anniversary by the Reverend Edwin R. Carter and edited by Willis C. Warner and the Reverend H. Victor Allison. This summary of our church's growth is based on histories of the church written for past anniversaries and on contemporary documents in the church's collection.

Celebrating this milestone in our church's history gives us an opportunity to note that the church is the people and it is because of their loyalty and love, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that this church has prospered through the years.

Preparations are now underway under the direction of the 300th Anniversary Committee to celebrate in 2015 the 300th Anniversary at the First Congregational Church.

Watch for more details forthcoming.
