The First Baptist Church is located on Route 1-A just past the rotary on the South Kingstown border. The church offers regular services each Sunday, along with events like cookouts, choir tours and mission trips throughout the year. Separate fellowships are available for men, women, seniors and children. The church itself is a solid brick structure with plenty of available parking via an attached lot.
According to St. Peter's records, the worshippers have been meeting since the summer of 1852, when Joseph H. Dulles fathered a group of various denominations for worship on Sunday afternoons at Indian Rock at the shore. The first church was built in July 1869 at a cost of $4,000, only for a "great northeast gale" to demolish the structure in September of the same year.
However, the very next day the church trustees met and resolved to build a new church. This same church, built in English Gothic style, stands today, with the same stained glass Tiffany windows. The church has been in the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.
A preschool is also run by the church on the property. A rector's house on the property was converted into the schoolhouse in the 1970s. An annex completed in the late 2000s connects the church with the schoolhouse, and also provides office space. Sermon podcasts are available on the church's website.
Situated on the corner of Rockland and Rodman Streets, the St. Thomas More Church is the main worship facility for the St. Thomas More Parish. The church has daily service, and also offers Bible study, a knitting ministry, a monthly newsletter and other services for worshippers. Reconcilliation is available on Saturdays between 4pm and 4:45pm, or by appointment with the parish office. An additional facility, St. Veronica's Chapel, is also overseen by the St. Thomas More Parish, and services the Bonnet Shores community.
Located on the stretch of Avice Street between Scenic Route 1-A and South Pier Road, Calvary is a small, independent Bible church. A regular service is held every Sunday morning, along with Sunday School. In the fall, prayer meetings are held each Wednesday night, and youth ministry sessions are held on Thursday nights. All services occur at the church's main building. Pastor and teacher Don Stiles says the small congregation of about 60 allows for individual focus and attention.
The St. Veronica Chapel is a secondary worship facility for the St. Thomas More Parish. The main church, the St. Thomas More Church, is on Rockland Street near Narragansett Pier. The St. Veronica Chapel is a smaller church that services the community of Bonnet Shores.
