One hundred thirty years is a long time, but that is when the Provo Community Congregational Church was organized. The congregation has a long history since its inception in 1891 of serving the community with classes, health clinics, serving those in need, scout troops, seminars, twelve-step groups, musical events, choral groups, and much more.
Through hard work and dedication, funds have been raised to replace and upgrade the roofs of the church buildings and secure the removal of a 1892 45-rank pipe organ from a church slated for demolition in Salt Lake City. Work on the roofs began in December 2021 and were completed in late Spring of 2022.
Removal of the organ took place in mid-December 2022 and went into storage while plans are made and funds are raised to expand the Sanctuary to house the organ and a larger chancel to better accommodate performances with choirs and orchestras.
We were honored in the Summer of 2022 to be added to the National Register of Historic Places and given a Stewardship Award from the Provo Landmarks Commission for our work to preserve these historic buildings and the stories of those who came before us.
In May 2023 architect renderings were released with views of the restored and expanded spaces of the church.
The years have taken their toll on the 1924 and 1957 era buildings and it is time for a restoration and update to take the mission of the church into the future for decades to come.
