First Congregational Church of Cheshire

The First Congregational Church is "the Church on the Green" in Cheshire, Connecticut. For more than 275 years we have been, and we continue to be, a community devoted to serving God and the people of the world through the saving grace of Jesus Christ and the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

More than 800 people belong to the First Congregational Church. Most live in Cheshire, but others come to worship with us from Wallingford, Meriden, Prospect, Wolcott, Waterbury, Hamden and farther afield. We extend a warm welcome to everyone.
