Our Church's History
Our church was organized in 1909 by a small group of devoted people who met in the former Hudson's Bay Company manager's house at Fort Nisqually. In 1916 the Villagers worked hard to raise funds to build the First Church of Dupont on land donated by the DuPont Company. The building was completed in 1917 and was fondly known as "The Little Brown Church." It was later dubbed the "Campside Church" when it began ministering to the needs of soldiers from Camp Lewis (now Fort Lewis) during WWI. At some point, the church was enfolded into the Presbyterian denomination. In recent years, DuPont Presbyterian Church was It still functions today as a historical landmark and vital gathering point for the community of DuPont. Church members have continued to volunteer their time to restore the original woodwork, such as the antique pews, and maintain the building. When the church was recently painted, the Historical Society of DuPont painted the new interpretive sign to match the new color of the church and fit the theme of other historical sites around town. The Church often sponsors a summer week-long Vacation Bible School for the whole community, with the participation of other local churches. On December 24th, it holds an old-fashioned Christmas Eve Candlelight Service with carols, a children's Christmas pageant, and hot spiced cider for everyone. The church also hosts memorial services for community members, special events for a local Montessori School, Boy Scout and Cub Scout meetings, DuPont Historical Society special events, and a beautiful Easter Sunday Service. Backed up to a lovely park, the church is the perfect setting for charming weddings and photo shoots. Come and see how the church continues to provide a warm welcome to everyone who enters its doors!

renamed "DuPont Community Presbyterian Church" due to its service to the greater community. The beautiful stained glass windows were a memorial gift. Later, an outdoor ramp was added to the original structure for wheelchair accessibility. The roof was replaced in 2009 by generous donor.
