In 1930, two local churches, one Presbyterian, one Methodist, chose to leave their denominations and come together as one body, which took the name Chalmers Community Church.

"In the belief that the Kingdom of God can be more speedily advanced
and the Spiritual needs of Chalmers and its vicinity can best be served by uniting Christian believers in their worship, fellowship, and Christian work, this church is founded."
Our church began to gather in our current building in 1954. Since then, we have continued to grow in the knowledge of Christ's love, and to share that love with our community in concrete and practical ways. From its inception, the purpose of this church has been clear:
