Congregationalism is a religious
ideal based upon freedom of
interpretation. This freedom pertains
not only to scriptural understanding,
but also to the divine revelation that an
individual receives through the power
of the Holy Spirit. This freedom also
extends into our Church government.
The local Church is a sovereign body.

Each Church does have the opportunity to associate freely with other Churches of the
Congregational denomination for the purposes of wider fellowship and understanding.
There is no hierarchy that can dictate a course of action to any Church body. Jesus
bade men, follow me. The First Congregational Church of Fall River asks of its
members only what our Lord asks. Therefore, it welcomes into its fellowship all who
sincerely and joyously purpose to follow Him, to study His words, to seek His Spirit, to
do His work, to share His faith, and to help others do the same. Our emphasis is upon
Christian character and service rather than upon dogma or creeds. We are fellow
workers, not identical thinkers
