The meetinghouse for the settlement that became known as Pownal was first built of logs at Pownal Center on the highest point of a plot of ground set apart in the charter of the town of Pownal granted January 8,1760, to be used for public purposes.

The Community Church (then known as the Union Church) was erected in 1849 over the meetinghouse. First organized by the Baptist in 1794, the church was supported by both the Baptists and Methodists but has always been open to every established denomination.

Today, Pownal Center Community Church is open to all every Sunday at 10am.

At Pownal Center Community Church, we seek to avoid “philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men…”(Col. 2:8)

Our mission in PCCC is simple. We wish to be the closest Christian family we can be, to worship together, to fellowship and learn together, always with our focus on deepening our wisdom and power as we walk by the Spirit. We know “the wisdom that is from above is first pure then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”(James 3:17)

We aspire to present that wisdom to any who seek it.
