In 1970 a young couple from the established congregation of New
Haven, Connecticut decided to move to Barre, Vermont for a business
opportunity. The nearest congregation for them would be Claremont New
Hampshire, 75 miles away. They traveled faithfully 150 miles for
services for three years. The first Mission service was held in their
living room in May of 1973. In 1975 Barre was established as a
congregation, and services were moved to rented quarters provided by the
First Congregational Church of Berlin Vermont. There the congregation
remained for 25 years. Land was purchased in April 2000; Building of the
church began the Thursday before the Chief Apostle’s visit to
Boston, in October of 2000. Dedication was on May 6, 2001, and services
continue to be conducted here to date. The Barre congregation has been
blessed with children, we have an active Sunday school and Youth group
which adds life and excitement to our congregational life; supported by
our choir and on occasion instrumental groups.
