History:
Worship services began in Dorset in the homes of early settlers. John Manley and the Cephas Kent about 1773. The first regular meting house was built soon after in the old portion of the cemetery. On September 22, 1784 the Congregational Church of Dorset was officially formed. In about 1797 it was moved to a location across the street from the present building. It remained there until 1832 when it burned in a violent storm. A new building was then put where our church stands now until 1907, it too burned.

With two wooden buildings having burned, it was most fortunate for us when the Norcross Building Co. offered to give us a supply of locally quarried marble so we could rebuild. The dedication took place on August 30, 1910 and with the Sunday School addition and pastor's study built in 1972, it is our Church today.
