First Congregational Church (Spencer, Massachusetts)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Congregational Church was a historic church building in Spencer, Massachusetts.[1] The church originates from the mid-1700s.[2] The church designed by architect Elbridge Boyden was destroyed by a fire in 1862 but was rebuilt a year later.[3] The church was expanded in the 1960s.[4] On June 2, 2023, a lightning strike caused another fire which completely destroyed the church.[5] The congregation dates to 1743.[6] In August 2025, construction of a new church commenced on the site.[7] The weather vane from the old church will be incorporated into the new building.[8]
