Teaching Historic Christianity in
Maine's Historic Church
First Church of Waterville, established in 1818, continues teaching historic Christianity. At First Church, church is still church. We embrace historic worship and intelligent instruction in the Scriptures. Nothing means more to us than our community. For over 200 years First Church has cared for Waterville and its people through gospel centered ministry. We are still here. We are a non-denominational Reformed church.
