Services were initially held at the Unitarian Church in 1835, and later at Pocasset Hall.

However, by 1872, this building proved to be too small for the growing congregation, so services were held in the Music Hall from 1872 to 1875, as plans for a new church on Rock Street were made.

It is constructed from Fall River granite with red brick and Scotch stone trim.

[3] The church is built in the Victorian Gothic style with a buttressed square tower with a crenellated cap and stone corner pinnacles.

The tight massing, is relieved by the addition of a side garden, attached chapel, and handsome brick and shingle parish house.
