A group of people began holding Congregationalist meetings in the new Dayton's Bluff neighborhood on November 21, 1882 in the home of George M. and Elizabeth Gage on Bates Avenue at Van Buren Place. At a second meeting on December 2 of the same year, the group met to form a church. On December 10, they held a service in the Methodist Episcopal Chapel on Bates Street. Later services were held in a storeroom in Mr. Shornstein's store on Bates and Hudson Street and in the Methodist Chapel. The congregation erected a small frame chapel at Bates and Conway. They started holding services in the basement of the new building in November 1883, and they completed the upstairs audience room on October 23, 1887.
The congregation was extant in 1936. At this writing in 2015, the congregation no longer exists. The building remains extant, now (in 2015) housing the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob in the U.S.A.
