After a division of the Presbyterian Church of Gorham in about 1842, some members
began another church in Bethel, but the remaining members who stayed to form this
church, kept the old meetinghouse and were without a minister. Reverend Cornelius
Brower from Geneva preached at the church during the first winter after the
division. The church became the Reformed Dutch Church of Gorham in March 1843. Also
during 1843 the church was moved to another building a mile and a half away. On
November 8, 1843, Reverend Abraham Ryerson was installed as pastor. In 1951 the
church became the Congregational Church of Reeds Corners.
