We are a Puritan, Reformed and Evangelical fellowship. Our house of worship is one of the oldest in Connecticut having been established by ardent and devout Puritan and Reformed men and women in 1770.

It is our earnest prayer that as a people we will be found among those who worship our great God and Saviour in Spirit and in truth, and that we will never be ashamed of the gospel which is the power of God unto salvation.

“We must not be guided merely by antiquity, as if the plea of prescription and long usage were alone sufficient to justify our path.
