Cheshire Bible Chapel, 1103 Waterbury Rd, Cheshire, CT 06410, US

On December 9, 1956, a handful of people met at the Cheshire Grange Hall for the first service of published worship of Cheshire Lutheran Church. Within ten months, our visionary charter members had obligated themselves to pay for the land on which our church now stands. Construction began in the spring of 1960, and the newly-built church was dedicated on January 29, 1961. In 1978, we expanded the church facilities by adding classrooms, new church offices, and a large fellowship hall. Not quite thirty years later, CLC members again embarked on an expansion and renovation project the cornerstone of which is a new wing that provides a home for our Little Cherubs Christian Preschool. During its nearly fifty years, CLC has been known to members and visitors alike as a friendly and welcoming church. We are also a church that reaches out to the local community in service through participation in Cheshire Interfaith Housing, the town-wide food drive, St. Bridget's Food Pantry, the Baskets of Love program, and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, etc. Our Worldwide Ministryis firmly established as a dedicated part of our financial work plan from which we donate tens of thousands of dollars nationwide and worldwide each year. Possibly our greatest outreach is our Little Cherubs Christian Preschool. There, three- and four-year-olds attend classes grounded in a sound Christian curriculum. Those quality learning opportunities assist parents in the nurturing of their child's spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and emotional growth and development.
