History

Over 130 years of faithful fellowship in central Connecticut

Ecclesial and Project History

Foundation and Growth

The Meriden Christadelphian Ecclesia was founded in January, 1893. We have had a continuous presence in central Connecticut, USA, for over 130 years. Today the ecclesia numbers 65 members, with an active Sunday School and CYC/young adults group.

The Yalesville Years

The ecclesia had its own small building in Yalesville since 1961, with just under 1,000 square feet for the meeting room, coat room/cry room and rest rooms combined. The basement, of comparable size was used for Sunday school, Bible seminars, and other ecclesial activities. As the ecclesia grew in the past 30 years, space had become a problem for us.

The Planning

2003: We formed a Building Committee and began praying and saving for a new meeting place. At the outset, we saw our options as either new construction or finding another building that could be modified to meet our needs.

2010: We purchased a one-acre site in South Meriden, Connecticut, and new construction became the focus of our building project.

The Construction

2012: With architectural drawings in hand and a favorable bid (after major design changes), we began construction in November.

2013: We moved into our new building in August, completing our journey to a permanent home for our growing fellowship.

Thank You

We are grateful to our Lord and to our family in Christ for the support we've received.

Scripture Foundation

"You are God's building... no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ...Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in you?"
