History of Valley
A small fellowship of Presbyterians began meeting together in 1976. For many years, they were a "church in the box" meeting wherever they could find a space; a firehouse, a funeral home(!), a bank, and a school. The fellowship was called Housatonic Valley Presbyterian Church, and it was overseen by the Connecticut Valley Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church, USA (the old northern church before wider church reunion with the southern Presbyterian Church, USA 1983).
