Cremona Congregational Church

The Cremona Congregational Church is a Canadian nonprofit religious organization located in Cremona, Alberta. It serves as a welcoming spiritual community dedicated to those seeking a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, embracing Christians from diverse denominational backgrounds.

History

The congregation originated in 1937 under the United Church of Canada. In response to evolving local church needs, the community made a congregational decision in 1989 to affiliate with the Congregational Churches in Canada. Following a period of worship in rented spaces, the congregation purchased property and initiated the construction of a new church building in 1992. The building project was notable for its rapid completion, largely due to volunteer labor and local community support, and it was accomplished without incurring any mortgage debt. The first service in the new sanctuary was held on Christmas Eve of 1992, despite the space being unfinished at the time, creating a memorable event as attendees sat on lawn chairs surrounded by stud walls inscribed with scripture verses.
