Church

Welcome Residents, Guests & Visitors!

The church is an important part of the village and will welcome everyone back in July 2011.

Improved Communication

In 2010, the church launched their own Church News Page!

The church now has an email address sturgeon.church@rogers.com that can be used to send your comments or questions.

The 2010 church flyer was made available in various locations throughout the community and located outside of the church at all times. This information is intended for those passing by who may be interested in attending a service. The atmosphere at this church is casual and everyone is welcome!

History:

Sturgeon Point Union Church has provided a place of worship for residents and visitors alike for over 100 years. Erected in 1888, the first structure for this purpose was replaced in 1915 with the gift of the current structure by Mrs. J. W. Flavelle (later Lady Flavelle).

The structure itself is remarkable. Constructed of Georgia pine throughout, the octagonal building has windows on seven sides and is supported by a center pillar. Beams branch out to the sloping ceiling. Small dormer windows admit light from above, and a belfry holding the bell to call the people to worship surmounts the structure. The focal point of the interior is on the eighth side where the pulpit, choir seats, and organ are located. A vestry and anteroom complete the structure. Memorial gifts include a fine organ, the pulpit, and a Bible reading lamp.

The church has remained independent, welcoming worshipers of all creeds. Services at the church are conducted on Sundays at 10:30 am during the summer.
