Over 220 years ago a small group of sturdy pioneers established Williamstown, Vermont.  We are the descendants, some by blood, others by choice, of those hardy souls.  Our church building has been rebuilt a few times, sometimes out of ambition and sometimes out of the rubble of ashes, and the present congregation is now caretaking a beautiful, traditional New England structure which includes a fully rebuilt tracker organ.

Unfortunately in April of 2021 the Congregregational Church that we were housed in burnt to the ground. It was truely a sad day for the community, but from the ashes we continued. We were blessed to have a second church, the Methodist Church just down the street available to move into. Without hesitation, we continued services in now our new home. A church is not the building, but the people, "the believers". When we understand that we are all the Church, we  are able to realize the Lord's presence goes with us everywhere - into our homes, workplaces, and community.

Our heritage is classically Protestant - both Congregational and Methodist traditions infuse our faith.  We accept many diverse theological views because we believe that love is the main thing.  There are fundamentals we agree on -  the existence of God, the privilege of following Jesus Christ on the path of love and compassion, and the mysterious power which we call the Holy Spirit.  Beyond that we have found room for all kinds of political and philosophical beliefs.  It is in our diversity that we experience unconditional love and acceptance.  

We are a small congregation, approx. 40 in attendance on most Sunday mornings.  Worship is the center of our life together (and coffee hour afterwards).  Our worship can be described as casual sacred.  There is a structure and there is a casual, relaxed feeling.  We have communion on the first Sunday of the month, a children’s sermons, Sunday school which begins about 10:15 AM, prayer and of course singing.
