About 1StCongregational.org
The oldest continuously Congregational church in North America was "gathered" in 1632 in a section of Marshfield known as Greene's Harbour, (now Green Harbor). The group, headed by Edward Winslow, had been farming the land since about 1628. But they found it to be very arduous to make the long journey to Plymouth every Sabbath, so they agreed to establish themselves in what is now Marshfield.
