The First Congregational Church of New Brighton was incorporated in 1890 and built in 1892 at a cost of $1500. It was located on the west side of 5th Avenue and 6th Street and operated in that location until 1958, when it was purchased by the New Brighton Christian Church. It relocated to Long Lake Road and changed its name to United Church of Christ in New Brighton. Social events at the church included annual picnics at Como Park.
