Our History

One winter evening, a group of earnest Christians met at one of the homes in this town and organized what was to be know thereafter as, The South Berwick Village Baptist Church. This was a Wednesday evening, November 12, 1823.

​

Three prominent men present at that important meeting were Josiah W. Seaver, Charles W. Trafton and Samuel Parks.

​​

In June of 1824 a vestry was built in the middle of town, at the corner of what is now known as Scott's Court and Main Street.  It burned shortly after being built and it was not until December 1826 that a new meeting house was finished. (Our present building.)
