I love going to this church. For many years I was absent religiously. A friend invited me here and…read moremy family immediately felt welcomed. After a couple of visits, many of the church goers had learned our names and made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere is very warm. You don't get any dirty looks from any one when your baby gets fussy and starts acting up. They don't judge you because of your looks, lifestyle, ethnic backgrounds or history. During services they have 2 childcare rooms; infants and toddlers. After services most people move into the dining hall to grab a delicious pastry or fresh fruit along with something to drink and meet and mingle with every one. Working at one of the casinos I always feel drained and blah from all the negativity all around me. I enjoy coming here for the positive vibes. It's like a recharge. They have plenty of activities such as painting, tai chi, trips and fund raisers. I do the weekly Bethel Bible study. It's a small group of a dozen or so and we discuss the Bible in depth. Being new to reading the Bible this program is so helpful. They teach you that the mindset of the people of the times was more philosophical and not literal which helps make sense of many of the Bible verses. I always look forward to Bethel. I really can go on and on about how wonderful this place is but really you need to come here for yourself!!

I've been attending Dunns Corners Church for 15 years. This is a warm, loving community of…read morebelievers. Everyone is welcome. The church has members from many different religious backgrounds. This is a place where you can explore Christianity, study the Bible for yourself, and build your own personal beliefs rather than have a particular doctrine forced on you.

Trivia question: When she remarried, she was Jacqueline Onassis. But before she married JFK, what…read morewas her maiden name? JFK and Jackie were married here on September 12, 1953. This Gothic Revival church is Rhode Island's oldest Catholic parish as it was founded in 1828. The ceremony was officiated by Archbishop Richard Cushing of Boston, with a special blessing read from Pope Pius XII. It was built between 1848 and 1852, the church reflects both the aspirations of Newport's growing Catholic community and the stylistic preferences of the era. The building's exterior is defined by its massive, rough-cut brownstone walls, which give it a sense of permanence and gravity. A steeply pitched roof and soaring steeple rise above Spring Street, creating a vertical emphasis typical of Gothic design. The sculptural entrance, with its pointed arch and recessed doorway, reaches out to the street in a gesture both welcoming and monumental.

This is a Protestant Church. I went here growing up. The people and religious attitude here are…read morerelatively relaxed in that they're not pushy if you come to an event or visit. They have pamphlets if you're interested in joining but the people who come here are here because they are comfortable and want to be here. They're progressive in their beliefs of gay marraige, have had a presentation on Jews for Jesus by a Rabbi and support other types of current human rights issues. Rev. Bizer is a friendly easy person to talk to. This I can vouch for as he came into the hospital to visit my Father in his last week alive. They have Bible groups and are known for starting the Homeless sleepout for the Church's teens to raise money for homelessness. I'm not sure how large the congregation is. It tends to fluctuate. There is a church school and confirmation class. Kind of a Norman Rockwell New England type place and people. The church itself was design by Roland Hazard, one of the historic families of South County. If you ask you may still be able to get a booklet on the symbolism in the church, which is kind of cool, like a search game. They have some yearly events like Ladies' Night and a Chili Cookoff. They also have a Vacation Bible School in the summer. Last year their Men's Group hosted an FBI agent who'd written a book about Whitey Bulger. Recently they had a Hypnotist do a show in their hall. Of course weddings, baptisms as well as memorials are held in the church and hall. AA groups and others use the facilities too.
