Our History

Only 120 years in Robbinsdale, we come from the Pilgrims.

Robbinsdale United Church of Christ was founded on Pentacost Sunday, June 9, 1889, when Robbinsdale was Parker's Station.  We were the First Congregational Church of Parker.  The Congregationalists were the Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower.

We were then, and continue to be a dynamic congregation that listens carefully. As John Robinson said to the pilgrims in 1620, "I am very confident the Lord hath more truth and light yet to break forth from [the] Holy Word."
