Dighton Community Church, Colonial church in Dighton, United States.
The church building features a traditional New England architectural design with a prominent bell tower added in 1824 to house the Revere Bell.
Construction of the church began in 1770 but paused during the American Revolution when the unfinished structure served as barracks for colonial soldiers.
The Declaration of Independence was first read at this location on July 13, 1776, under the ministry of Reverend Ezra Stiles.
The church holds weekly services every Sunday at 10 AM and maintains a dedicated Sunday School program for children during the main service.
The bell tower contains a bell cast at the Revere Foundry in 1821, which was transported to the church by a pair of oxen.
