National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC) The Congregational Way
Understanding the Congregational Way - Congregational Churches are sometimes known as the "Church of the Pilgrims" after the small congregations of the early 1600's. The people from these congregations moved from England to the new world in pursuit of religious freedom. From then, we inherited a wonderful spiritual heritage, one that is uniquely suited to our contemporary world.
