First Congregational Church

About this church

First Congregational Church of Bay Shore holds its Sunday service at 10 a.m. at 1860 Union Boulevard in Bay Shore, New York. Organized in 1853, the congregation is an independent church that operates without an outside hierarchy, and the present sanctuary dates from 1891. The building is known for a ceiling shaped like an inverted ship's hull, carved wave designs on the pew ends, 29 stained-glass windows, and a pipe organ built in 1905. The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The church describes an open communion table and welcomes both infant baptism and baptism by immersion, with confirmation as a later affirmation of baptism. Community work includes a food pantry started in 2021 with local partners, and the Sunday School wing of the building houses a Montessori preschool. The website offers a calendar, directions, and a contact page, and the church can be reached by phone at 631-665-0091. Visitors should confirm the current schedule on the website, since only the Sunday service time is listed on the pages reviewed.
