St. Augustine, Florida by the Spanish, before there were any states.

It would be Mass as this was the first place settled, and as the people came here to be allowed religeous freedom. I would think they set up a church first thing. I doubt they built a church for a while as they were having trouble surviving, but I'm sure they held services and this constitutes establishing a church in my opinion.

There is some evidence (and speculation) that there were some pre-Columbus, Irish monks who wound up on the eastern seaboard and established a monastic community, which would have entailed a church. However, I am not sure with which current state that settlement would correspond.

I would assume those folks on the Mayflower set up a church in Mass as soon as they landed. They did come over for religious beliefs after all.
