First Congregational Church, now known as Trinity Church, is an historic church at 730 Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The present church building was built in 1870 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
First Congregational Church was founded in 1820 as a Trinitarian as opposed to a Unitarian church. It became a member of the United Church of Christ when that body was formed, but withdrew in 2006 when the congregation "voted to establish itself as an independent, trans-denominational congregation," and changed its name to Trinity Church. Its current pastor is the Rev. J. Howard Cepelak.[2]
