Sunday Services in the Churches
In the Western Reserve town of Litchfield Ohio a Congregational church formed on June 6 1833 under a mixed government with Presbyterian oversight. Tensions over doctrine and governance marked early years as ministers and members debated plans, pay structures, and the Oberlin doctrines before the church in 1844 severed ties with Medina Presbytery to remain Congregational.

Growth and Unity of Litchfield Congregational Church 1833–1933
The Litchfield Congregational Church traces its split and reunion in the 19th century, forming a united body by 1847 on land donated by Benoni Alcott. Through periods of trial, 1825 liquor and 1849 slavery stands, and a 1876 revival, the church expanded under pastors Barton, Chapin, Raine, Townsend, Schott, and others. A 1931 annex, Sunday schools, societies, and organized missions mark its modern growth, celebrating a century of faith and community.
