Mark 1:16-20 -   Jesus said to them, “Follow me…”

When this church was searching for a new minister just a few short years ago, the summary description of King’s Chapel sent out by this congregation was to this effect:  

King’s Chapel is Anglican in worship style, Christian Unitarian in theology, and Congregational in governance.

Three ways of being – Anglican, Unitarian and Congregational. No other church in the whole world is like King’s Chapel, utterly unique.

And what do these three descriptors mean - Anglican in worship style; Christian Unitarian in our understanding of God; Congregational in how we make decisions?

What’s the history behind this church, founded in 1686, begun as the English King’s Chapel, which 100 years later became the very first Unitarian Church in the New World?

We’ll be exploring these questions over the next several months  – looking at our history as we move into our future.
