First Congregational Church was organized July 17, 1864, in a cottonwood grove near Valmont Butte, with 14 original members.  The Congregationalists moved to Boulder, and met in a frame schoolhouse at 15th and Walnut until they built their first church in 1866–1870 on what is now the site of the Carnegie Library. The church, known then as The Congregational Church of Boulder Valley (the church became officially First Congregational Church of Boulder in 1887), chose to build on the hillside site so its tower would be visible for miles down the valley, attracting people to worship.  When growth dictated the need for a larger facility, ground was broken for the present church building in February 1906, which was dedicated in 1908.  Recent renovations have enhanced the building and have created a wonderful environment for both worship and concerts.
