Additional Church Milestones

​

1834   Parma Greece Church was born on August 23 with 14 charter members that met in a little red school house
          on Burritt Road.  They took the Scripture of Truth for their only rule of faith and practice.

1841   In April, Sunday School was organized

1843   Since attendance had increased over the years, the group incorporated and adopted the name “Christ
          Church of Parma and Greece”.

1844   Isaac Chase donated land and a chapel was erected at the site of the present church.  It was called
          “Cobblestone Church”.

1845   The Cobblestone Church was dedicated,  In June, membership was up to 111.

1903   The Cobblestone Church was torn down and the present structure was built on the very same foundation
           as the Cobblestone Church.  The windows of the Cobblestone Church were put in the nave of the
           sanctuary. On November 22, “Parma and Greece Christian Church” was dedicated

1957   Sunday School facilities and the Fellowship Hall were completed.  The new facilities also provided child
           and crib care and a modern kitchen.  The facility was dedicated on October 20.  The Congregational
           Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Churches merged to form the United Church of
​            Christ.  We became Parma Greece United Church of Christ.
