HOME ST. ANDREW'S GREENWICH THE COVENANTER
The Covenanter Church at Grand Pre
celebrated it's 200 anniversary in 2004. Built in 1804 in the
style of
a New England Meeting House. The tower was added in 1818. The church
was built during the
ministry of Reverend George Gilmore, a
Presbyterian who ministered in Ireland before coming to Grand Pre. The
church was given the name 'The Covenanter' during the tenure of the
Reverend Sommerville who insisted that the congregation follow the
Covenanter system of worship. This lead to a number of parishoners
leaving to form another Presbyterian congregation. The church
on the
hill became known as The Covenanter to differentiate the two.
