About Us

Learn more about our church.

We are a welcoming church for believers and nonbelievers alike looking for connection. Learn more about our mission and vision.

God is still speaking is our primary motto. What this means is that God continues to communicate by providing guidance and insight through various means like scripture, personal experiences, the Holy Spirit, or even through events in life. Our other motto is from Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John 17:21 “That they may all be one.”

We begin every worship service with our vision statement – “We are called to share God’s love through Christ in worship, teaching, and outreach.”

The story of the First Congregational Church of Wareham ties intimately to the history of the town of Wareham. For its first 90 years (1739-1828), church and town affairs were one, as was the common practice within the commonwealth. After the separation of church and state in Massachusetts, the church building continued to house both a sanctuary space and the town meeting hall for another 75 years (1829-1904), making it a focal point of the religious and civic life of the community. Our church gathered in 1739 with 15 men and 28 women and Rev. Roland Thacher as the minister. As the oldest church in Wareham, our exciting history spans five different church buildings, over 30 ministers, and hundreds of faithful, dedicated members, which attests to the church’s longevity. Though damaged by fire twice and rebuilt four times, the church has stood fast as a witness to the faith of the town’s ancestors and as a reminder of the values and commitments of Wareham. On the other hand, we are also a very new congregation in our programs, thinking, and outreach locally and globally. We are a people worshiping, serving, and playing together as a family united by our love of God, self, and neighbor.
