Description
A new Parish was formed by several individual church members who combined for the purpose of building a new Meeting House. During the spring and summer of 1843, the church building now known as the Elijah Kellogg Church was built; and the dedication of this new Meeting House was held on September 28, 1843.
The Reverend Elijah Kellogg was born May 20, 1813 in Portland. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1840 with a Bachelor of Arts and in 1843 with a Master of Arts. Rev. Kellogg studied at the Andover Theological Seminary in 1843. The Reverend was called as Pastor on April 25, 1844 in Harpswell at the new Meeting House and installed on June 18, 1844. So began an affiliation that lasted, though not without interruptions, until Reverend Kellogg's death on March 17, 1901. The Harpswell Centre Congregational Church was renamed in his honor and is now known as The Elijah Kellogg Church, Congregational.
