Then & Now: Park Congregational Church, Russell Street, Worcester
On June 29, 2008, members of Park Congregational Church said their goodbyes to its beloved church building at Russell and Elm streets, but they couldn’t say goodbye to the teachings and the fellowship of the church.
A week later, the small Protestant congregation continued to worship together at First Baptist Church, at Park Avenue and Salisbury Street.
The former Park Congregational Church was purchased by Cutler Real Estate Management. Soon afterwards, Grace Christian Centre, a non-denominational gospel church, signed an agreement to lease the church, at 80 Russell St., near Elm Park.
Despite being gone, Park Congregational was a key church for many years in Worcester.
