The congregation was gathered in 1695 by Rev. Nathaniel Clap, a Harvard College graduate who ministered to the Newport congregation until his death in 1745. The Second Congregation started another church in 1735, but the two later reunited. The congregation was active during the American Revolution and both churches were used as hospitals. The current building was completed in 1857 and John LaFarge stain glass windows were installed later in the nineteenth century. The building was later added to the National Register.
