From The City of Lafayette: (

The Congregational Faith was organized in 1890 and the church constructed in 1892. Much of the funding was provided by Mary Miller, founder of Lafayette. She also helped pay for the preacher until the membership could get organized enough to take over the responsibility. In the midst of the flu epidemic of 1918 the church became an emergency hospital. In the late 1920s, membership dropped and the building was sold to the Christian Science Society. During its life, the building has twice housed a library, and in 1986 was restored and remodeled by the City of Lafayette for use as a community theater. The Mary Miller Theater, as it is known today, is home to a variety of community performing arts. Beautiful stained glass windows grace the east and west walls of the building.
