History of Church of the Chimes

        Congregationalism, from its earliest conception was founded by men and women of faith: faith in God; faith in Jesus Christ; faith in the Christian church as the fellowship of Christ’s followers; and faith in the way we live with each other, as disciples in Godly character and principles. 

    The basis of membership in the Congregational Church of the Chimes is a covenant not a creed. We believe that the strength of our relationship with God is predicated on the covenant that binds us to our God and to each other. We have adopted as our covenant the same covenant formulated by the earliest Congregational Church of Salem, MA in 1629.
