The church was gathered in 1797 by those who did not wish to travel to the center of Dracut for worship. Pawtucketville was part of Dracut when the church was founded. The current church building was erected in 1898, and exhibits Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styling; its tower houses a bell cast by the Revere foundry in 1822.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

Pawtucket Congregational Church is an open and affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ.
