This wooden church with a bell tower was an Exeter icon through the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. In the 1950s, the church leadership decided it was time to replace it with a new one, and by 1962, the current facility was in place.
By the 1970s, Exeter was home to eighteen churches. Each one has a story. Each came together around a group of people who took advantage of the freedom to choose how and with whom they wanted to worship God. There are currently ten church communities in Exeter.
