This church is known to be one of the oldest churches in the Caribbean section. It was created in 1660 and was first initiated by the pioneer settlers of the region. However, with the unity of all the involved ministers and congregation, the history of the island was further shaped for the past 350 years.

For the last 14 years, the pastor who led the church services was rev. Jeffrey Gargano. The entire credibility of the church also depends on the status it holds in the world. It belongs to one of the oldest denominations in the US which is the Reformed Church founded in 1862.

This 2010, there will be a series of concerts and musical events that every visitor of the island should not miss.
