The members of Circular Congregational Church are proud to be one of the oldest continuously worshiping congregations in the South. Among highlights of our history are:
* Charles Towne's original settlers founded this protestant, or dissenting, church about 1681.
* The graveyard is the city's oldest burial grounds with monuments dating from 1696.
* The first meeting house on this site gave Meeting Street its name.
* The third structure here, a vast, circular hall built in 1804, burned in 1861. Bricks from "Old Circular" were used in building the present sanctuary in 1890.
* Historically Independent: the congregation is now related to the United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
