Our History
Founded in 1804, Greensboro UCC is one of Vermont’s oldest faith communities—rooted in tradition yet always evolving.
From its beginnings in a village store to today’s Open and Affirming congregation, our church has been shaped by faithful people, historic milestones, and a spirit of resilience.

The Church Board serves as the governing body of the church, carrying out the will of the congregation and providing overall leadership and coordination. It oversees committees and personnel, responds to concerns from the church and wider community, and helps guide the vision and direction of the church’s life and work. The Board also ensures transparency and accountability by reporting annually to the congregation.

The Trustees care for the church’s buildings, finances, and long-term stewardship. They oversee the annual budget, financial records, stewardship campaign, and church staff roles related to property and finances. Trustees work through subcommittees focused on finance, investments, and stewardship to ensure the church’s resources are used wisely and responsibly.

The Deacons nurture the spiritual, worship, and pastoral life of the church. They support worship and sacraments, welcome new members, care for those who are sick or grieving, and help foster a sense of belonging in the community. Deacons also work closely with the pastor to support worship, music, and ministry leadership.
