OUR HISTORY

The Litchfield Community Church Presbyterian
has roots that go back to the founding of the community.
When the Massachusetts Bay Colony granted the town a charter in 1734,
one of the requirements was that, "the town must settle a minister and
build a meeting house." The original meeting house was completed in 1736
and served as a town hall as well as a church until 1844. In that year
the present building was built. It was not until 1974 that the building
was elevated, and a parish hall, modern kitchen, and rest rooms were
constructed in the basement level. A minister's study and conference
room were added to the rear of the building on the ground level.
