In 1851, the members of the "Church of St. Johnsbury Plain" completed four years of prayerful discussion on the needs of the growing community by voting that "the interests of religion require a new church at the South end (of town); that a building be erected at the expense of the whole society to be owned and occupied by a colony from the mother church of not less than one-quarter nor more than one third of its membership, chosen by a committee of designation and to be organized at their own consent." Thus, on October 23, 1851, the colony of 66 members formally organized South Congregational Church.
