Geocache Description:


Church Micro 1948...Therfield - Independent

Therfield Chapel was established as a congregation of Protestant dissenters (the "Independents") in 1836. The current Chapel was built subsequently in 1854 and the Church eventually became known as Therfield Congregational Church being affiliated to the Congregational Union who acted as trustees for the Church property. When in 1966 the Congregational Union was replaced by a body which espoused more liberal views the Chapel seceded and became affiliated first to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) and then to the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (EFCC). In 1965 Allon Taffs was ordained as Pastor after serving the church as Secretary/informal leader for some 10 years before. He remained until May 1993. After a period of interregnum during which time the church was cared for and led by the elders and deacons the Rev Mark Kingston was appointed as Pastor in August 1997. He served the church until he resigned in July 2002. Andrew Carter was appointed as Pastor in February 2006.
