The First Church of Christ, Wethersfield, is an American Colonial Era church located in the Old Wethersfield Historic District of Wethersfield, Connecticut. The congregation was founded in 1635, and the cemetery dates from the 1600s, but the current Georgian-style, brick meetinghouse, with its distinctive white steeple, was built in 1761.[1] The interior of the current meetinghouse was built as a transverse church [de], altered considerably in 1838 and 1882, but returned to the original layout in 1971–1973.[2]
