This church was started by Roger Williams back in 1638 and has been continuously meeting since.

Pastor Crichton knows the bell ringer, a former fire chief whose job it is to keep the premises in order. He gave us a personal tour of the building which has an amazing history. We even got to go up to the bell tower, some 110 steps up! Spiffy view of Providence, Rhode Island.
We got a photo of us behind the pulpit. The pipe organ is amazing. Here is a photo of the bell.
