Roger Williams founded the church congregation in 1638 shortly after he founded Providence in 1636. The congregation built the current meeting house in 1775 under the leadership of James Manning on the site of a disused apple orchard. The church building was the largest construction project in New England at the time and was one of the first Baptist churches to have a steeple and bell.
