Whiting Community Church INTERIOR History Tour!!

After my video on the exterior of the Whiting Union Church (the original name of the Whiting Community Church) aired, Pastor Brett Cody reached out. He offered to share the history with me AND a tour of the INTERIOR! How could I refuse???

Please enjoy this exclusive look inside this wonderful church! What wonders are in store for us? Wonder no more by watching my video…

A HUGE THANKS TO PASTOR BRETT CODY FOR OFFERING THIS WONDERFUL TOUR!!

So, why two doors? Originally, men sat on one side of the church and women on the other. Thus, it was easier to have two doors to enter and exit.

“Residents constructed the Whiting Union Church in 1811 to serve as both a town assembly hall and a place of worship for local Baptists, Congregationalists, and other sects. In 1832 the church was remodeled in the Greek Revival style. In 1843 the Baptists left the union and constructed their own Greek Revival style church across the road…

Hezekiah Scovel erected the Whiting meetinghouse in 1811 in Whiting village. In 1832 residents remodeled it, adding the projecting central pavilion, two-stage belfry tower and steeple, and Greek Revival style entries, corner pilasters, and full entablature at the eaves.” – PP 4 and 5
