The Advent Christian Church is one of the smaller congregations in Watertown. The congregation was established on February 26, 1872, and the present church was erected the same year. Since its original construction, the church has been enlarged and improved.

The church celebrated its centennial in October of 1972 which brought together many former members and pastors. The present pastor is the Rev. Norman Phillips, who has served here since September of 1969.

The church provides a full program for all age groups. In addition to its own services the congregation cooperates with other churches on Watertown in union services and other joint efforts.
