The History of Cragwell

About

The Christian Mission Holiness Church was founded in the year 1916 by the late Rev. Alfred E. Cragwell. He, along with the members of the church raised enough funds to reach out and purchase what was then an abandoned fire station house near Main and Windsor Street. In March 1917, a charter was obtained from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which certifies that the members of this church are legally established and are made a corporation under the name of The Christian Mission Holiness Church, of Cambridge.
This church became a fire house and soul saving station for the people of God. It has been blessed to have had the following pastors who served long and faithfully from its beginning:

Rev. Alfred E. Cragwell

Pastor Cragwell served as pastor of the church from its beginning to the year 1951. In the early 1900’s, he and his family left the island of Barbados, British West Indies, and migrated to Cambridge, Massachusetts. There he started a church in a room on Harvard Street. The congregation grew rapidly and moved to its present location, 789 Main Street. Many souls were saved and healed, ministers were ordained who carried the Gospel throughout this country as well as the West Indies. Pastor Cragwell was an outstanding clergyman who served this church and community well for over thirty-five years, and was called from labor to reward in 1951.
