De reformerte kom til Fredericia som en samlet gruppe, der var blevet særligt inviteret af Frederik 4. i 1719. I 1720 bosatte de første reformerte familier sig i Fredericia, og i alt kom ca. 70 familier til byen. De reformerte tilhørte en gren af protestantismen, som var inspireret af reformatorerne Jean Calvin og Ulrich Zwingli.
Kirken: Fra 1725 var arealet kirkegård, hvor der var afsat plads til en kirkebygning. I 1728 havde en pastor begyndt en indsamling, for med tiden at kunne bygge en kirke. D. 2. juni 1735 blev grundstenen lagt
