300 YEARS AGO...

The South Parish of Andover held its first worship service in the new meeting-house in January, 1710. A rotation of "stated supply" pastors filled the pulpit on Sundays. John Abbot gave the family dining room table for the communion table which was used until 1908, when our current table was given. The original table is in the Hartford Athenaeum. A committee determined the "seating" for services "according to their best and soundest judgment, having respect to money and age."

South Church Mission Statement

South Church is a Christ centered fellowship that celebrates the love of God. We seek to learn and grow together in the Holy Spirit; to allow the Scriptures to guide our faith and our daily lives; and to share with others the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed and substance.

South Church is a congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the UCC Massachusetts Conference
