First Congregational Church of East Longmeadow is a historic church at 7 Somers Road in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. It is the oldest church building in East Longmeadow, and houses its oldest congregation. The congregation was established in 1827, and the church was built the following year. It was originally located further up Somers Road, and was moved to its present location in 1859. At that time it also underwent some remodeling, adding stylistic details typical of the work of Charles Bulfinch. In addition to serving the congregation, the building was also used for town meetings until the construction of the town hall in 1882. The church interior was again remodeled in 1948, and in 1953 its basement was finished and the attached Fellowship Hall was built.[2] The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
