The West Parish Congregational Meeting House was built with the funds of a private subscription of West Parish residents when the South Church decided not to fund a new meeting house "for worship in the westerly side of the Shawsheen River" in 1826.

Captain Solomon Holt circulated the subscription and gave the land for the church. Shares were sold and the $5,500 was raised in two years, mostly by pew sales.

The cornerstone was laid June 15, 1826 by Saint Mathews Lodge according to Masonic ritual.

The church was built by Captain Reuben Frye, mason, and carpenters John and Cyrus Brown.

Reverend Samuel Jackson was installed as the first minister on June 6, 1827.
