Our Congregation
Our congregation is a family of friends who share the common experience of knowing the love of God and who respond to that love in worship and in committed services to our Lord. Our community began almost 175 years ago on June 15, 1834. Scottish missionary Pastor Robert McAffee gathered twelve people in the very new town of Jefferson City. Meeting in the rotunda of the State Capitol, the group formed this congregation. Following the Civil War the church was located at its present site. The current worship building was built in 1927 and the Parish Hall was added in 1994.
