History
First known as the Congregational Society of Derby (1807-1925), this Congregational Church had its beginning in 1807 for the sharing of the Gospel and the strengthening of followers of Jesus Christ. Between 1816 and 1844 the Congregational Society of Derby planted four other Congregational Societies: Stainstead, Quebec; Morgan, Vermont; Holland, Vermont; West Charleston, Vermont.
The official name of this church, formerly known as the Congregational Society of Derby (1807-1925), the Federated Church of Derby (1925-1966), and the United Church of Derby (1966-2013), is now known as the Derby Community Church or DCC. This name is fitting because we desire to be a church that cares for the community. DCC enjoys a mix of traditional and contemporary worship styles with sermons that are relevant to everyday life. Whether you are a believer in Jesus or just interested in checking us out, we'd love to have you. It is our joy to live and serve in the Derby area and we hope to see you soon. |
