The Congregational Way has provided a religious, philosophical and moral force that has shaped our nation and world from the moment the Mayflower landed in the New World.</div> <bR> <div> As a Congregational Church we are in fellowship with other churches through the Wisconsin Congregational Association and the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
