Old Congregational Church is a historic church building off US 6 on Greenville Rd. (RI 116) in North Scituate, Rhode Island, and it was built in 1834.
Founded in 1834, the building is now owned by the town and is no longer a functional church. Interestingly, the pews face the front of the church to embarass latecomers. Since 1967, the Scituate Art Festival has been held on the church grounds every autumn. In 1974 the National Register added the building as #74000002.
