Here's what we're about.
For almost 150 years the Chelsea United Church on Mill Road has been a centre of spiritual and community life in Chelsea.
With deep roots in our village (and the original baptismal font bowl of Asa Meech) it has been not only a beloved place of worship and but also a centre of vibrant community activity; the Nearly New, the Chelsea Co-operative Nursery School, music lessons, rehearsals, Scouts, wrestling, ACRE meetings, and our annual Angel Share Concert.
Now the time has come to make the transition from a primarily a place of worship to a community gathering space that hosts all kinds of activities.
But what will the Mill Street Church become? The congregation has envisioned a space that is inclusive, financially sustainable and vibrant with activity and entirely supported by the community of Chelsea but what this actually means is up to us!
We would love feedback from:
