What it Means to be a Member of a Congregational Christian Church
by Henry David Gray


The main purpose of this series of pages is to make known more widely some of the chief facts about the origin, convicitions, distinctive principles and inclusive fellowship of a Congregational Christian Church. It is hoped that many who read them will wish to join one of our churches.

Congregationalism came to America on the Mayflower. The Pilgrim voyage to a new land was made necessary in order to re-establish a Church on the New Testament pattern - a fellowship on those who had chosen to be followers of Christ, spiritually competent to direct their own life and work. Because they had pledged themselves to live and worship in freedom according to the dictates of conscience, the Pilgrims were compelled to flee from their homeland. One of the abiding effects of their costly plea for liberty is that modern Congregationalists will not submit to a conformity which their forefathers resisted unto death.
