History:
There was an article in the town warrant for 1808, "To see if the town will choose an agent to attend the Court of Common Pleas at Warren, to answer the complaint against said town for not employing and supporting a teacher of piety, religion and morality, for neglect in providing worship of God as the law requires." Abel Boynton was chosen and in 1811 the sum of $100 was voted for support of the gospel. The first preachers were Elder James Garcelon, and Elder Cole, Baptists.
The Lisbon Free Baptist Church (as Lisbon Falls Baptist Church was known at that time) was organized Nov. 20, 1856, by a council consisting of Revs. N. Bard and W. T. Smith and fifteen members. George Plummer was chosen as clerk, Nathaniel Gatchell and Charles Brown, deacons. The church made but little progress during the succeeding five years, worshiping with other churches in union meetings. In 1862 it was decided to hold a separate meeting, and a house was obtained. After a time this church proved too small to accommodate the increased congregation, and in 1887 the new church was erected at a cost of over $6,000, Paid by contributions, among which were Frank Gutmann, $1000; G. C. Moses, $500, and Edward Plummer, $500. The church was dedicated March 6, 1888, by Carter E. Gates of Lewiston. Pastors: The first was Rev George Plummer, then Revs. A. F. Hutchinson, H.
