First Congregational Church
We are a proud church with over 200 years of worshiping God and being a central focus in the formation and development of Walton and the surrounding areas. Within half a dozen years of the first settlement of Walton, a log building was placed on Mt. Pleasant to serve as our first Church on Sunday and as a school throughout the rest of the week. Our current place of worship is a more centralized location at the corner of Mead and North Street.
Why was the Church founded? Why has it survived for so many years? Why have we been the mother church for so many of our neighbor congregations? Why have we started, supported, and led attempts at ecumenism in the area?
The answers to the “whys” have always been the same: a deep abiding faith in the power, mercy, justice, and steadfast love of the omnipresent God and the unswerving knowledge that God has guided and sustained us for 200 years and will continue to do so for the next 200 years, or 200 times 200 years.

Our children are precious and an essential part of our Congregation. Sunday School is offered during our 10:15 am worship service to children preschool through Grade 6.
Please Note: Our Sunday School schedule follows the Walton Central School calendar. Sunday School resumes September 13th.
New this year, the kids of the church are invited to attend our newly formed group, named by the youth of the church: The Church Kid’s Club. We will meet the last Sunday of the month, following the regular Sunday School calendar, for “Sunday Snack Chats”. The kids discussed the missions of this group, which include: helping our church to grow, doing community services, events and fundraising, and being ambassadors to any new or returning youth to our church.
