The Suquamish Community Congregational Church was built in 1916 with a $500 loan from the Board of Home Missions of the Congregational Church.  The church formed around an interest in offering Sunday school to children of the area.

In its early days, the church was served by itinerant ministers on an irregular basis, and church school was taught each Sunday by the dedicated members.  The first building consisted of what is now the sanctuary of the church.  An area was added in the 1940s to provide a social hall, church office, restrooms, and classroom.

With the opening of the Agate Pass Bridge in 1952, the Eagle Harbor Congregational Church in Winslow and the Suquamish Congregational Church were linked by road. 

In 1960, the church had its first regular minister when semi-retired Dr. Charles Cooley accepted the part-time position.  Dr. Cooley moved to Suquamish from Florida, where he had been Associate Minister at the Miami Beach Community Congregational Church.

In 1961, a new social hall and kitchen were added to the building.

In 1963, the congregation voted to be part of a national merger of the Congregation Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches, and the United Church of Christ was formed.

Following the retirement of Dr. Cooley, in March 1963 the Rev. Norman Stuart became the congregation's first full-time pastor.  A parsonage was built on McKinstry Street, and a play court was added adjacent to the parsonage.  In December 1977, the congregation was shocked when Rev. Stuart suddenly passed away due to a heart attack. 

A six-month interim ministry followed with Rev. Lyle Stork.

In August 1978, Rev. Richard Kroll arrived to serve the church. The parsonage was then sold to the Kroll family, but the play court was retained by the church.  A new addition was added to the church in 1980 for education and office space. With the completion of the addition, the social hall area was named "Stuart Hall" after Rev. Stuart.  At the same time the old choir room was refurbished to serve as a library, meeting room, and choir room and was named the "Vivian Robe Room" after a retired choir director.

In 1982 Sally Nelson was hired as part-time director of children's ministry and program assistant. In 1986, due to the illness of Rev. Kroll, Rev. Janis Dey served as a temporary assistant minister until Rev. Kroll was able to return.

Rev. Robin Reed served as Associate Minister during the early 1990s.  During this period, the congregation devoted much time to study, discussion, and prayer, and came to the decision to become an Open and Affirming church.  Following the departure of Rev. Reed, Rev. Diana Cheifetz served as interim Associate Minister.  Steve Old Coyote led the Youth Ministry. 

In the late 1990s, the ministry and mission of the church enjoyed the leadership of the Associate Minister, Rev. Sally Balmer. 

Following Rev. Kroll's move to Oregon in the year 2000, the church was served by two interim ministers -- Rev. Ineke K. Mitchell and Rev. Dr. Judith Bardsley.

In 2003, we called Rev. Dr. Tom Thresher, under whose leadership the ministry and mission of the church continue today.
