Yes they did. Part of the colonial pattern was to build a church and then a school. It was considered a priviledge to get an education, and the local colonists paid a school teacher to teach their children.

Most of the people who lived in middle colonies back then did go to the church, although it wasn't mandatory like some other colonies.
It didn't go anywhere. In England it's still there, in other places it's called the Anglican church or the Episcopal church.
Many of the colonists believed they were part of a great adventure. They established communities and took pride in what they made or grew or built. While some colonists were unhappy and either wanted to go back to England or wanted to go to another British territory (Canada), the majority became accustomed to living in New England and since it now felt like their home, they wanted to remain there.
Colonists spent most of their day trying to survive in their new land. Men would spend their day farming. Women would spend their day preparing for the meals and making things that they would need.
The middle colonies had good soil and were able to produce cash crops. This means they grew enough to sell and make a profit. The New England colonies were only able to grow enough for a family or just a bit trade or to sell, but not as much as the middle colonies did. They had to go to other things like fishing and building boats.
In order to "Purify" the English church. The puritants wanted to eliminate the Romans away from the English church. to spread Cathoilicism.
