About Us
History

In 1730, our church held its inaugural service at Pulpit Rock on White Plains Road. The first meeting house was erected for what was then a thirty-eight person congregation from North Stratford at the corner of White Plains Road and Unity.

 

By 1747 the congregation, now 75 members strong, built a more impressive meeting house near the bottom of Church Hill Road.  Many a horse and wagon clipped the side of the building on a fast trip down that street.  Nearly 50 years later, the growing village successfully petitioned Hartford for the establishment of the town of Trumbull and on November 20, 1797, the first town meeting was held in that meeting house.

 

The congregation remained in that building until 1842 when, for the grand sum of $2,400, the third meeting house was built back from the road a bit for its hundred and seventy members.  When this church burned to the ground on April 20, 1898, the members then met next door in the 1883 town hall, which is known today as the Helen Plumb Building.  At this time, the congregation purchased our present day property which was near our 1850 parsonage. They chose to build with a material which would be impervious to fire and storms - granite, quarried right in town off Quarry Road.  Today, our two-hundred forty member congregation meets in this building, which was completed, debt free, for $15,141.78 and dedicated on May 11, 1899.

Thirty nine pastors have been called to serve our church over the past 274 years.
