Faunce Memorial Union Church

About this church

Faunce Memorial Union Church, commonly called Faunce Church, meets in a small chapel in the woods near Myles Standish State Forest at 158 Halfway Pond Road in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Sunday worship begins at 9 a.m. and centers on verse-by-verse expository preaching, with PowerPoint outlines on screen so listeners can follow along. The church describes itself as an inter-denominational, Bible-believing Christian congregation. It takes its name from William Faunce, a grocer and traveling minister who began holding services in 1834 in a schoolhouse in what was then Long Pond Village.

At 10:30 a.m. on Sundays, children attend Children's Bible Hour, where lessons use visuals, puzzles, and handmade crafts, while adults gather for a relaxed, discussion-based Bible study over coffee. During the week, a women's Bible study meets Wednesday at 10 a.m., and a prayer meeting is held Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. A men's group meets Friday at 5:30 p.m. for Bible study, fellowship, and work projects, and men who do not attend the church are welcome. The congregation supports a prison ministry, a home for young mothers facing homelessness, outreach in Japan, and mission aviation work. Casual dress is the norm, and sermon recordings are posted on the church's SoundCloud page. The website may not reflect recent schedule changes, so confirm times with the church before visiting.
