The Free Union Church is the oldest existing House of
Worship on Fire Island. Ground was broken for the laying of the
cornerstone for the Protestant Interdenominational Church in 1917. In late
August of 1918 a service of dedication of the building was held. The
church is wooden with high ceilings and currently schedules services each
Sunday from Father's Day through Labor Day from 10:45 - 11:30am. Ministers
of different denominations come via ferry to preach each week. The average
attendance is about 35 worshipers per Sunday. The Board of Trustees meets
three times a year and the church's Raffle and Cake Sale held in July is
it's major source of income. Before 1998 the church was called the Union
Free Church. Workers discovered the cornerstone stone and noticed the
churches name to be Free Union Church. The trustees then voted to change
the name back to it's original.
